Hello again.
I wanted to show you the last of the videos from my interview with Glenn Williams. This video focuses on one of my favorite necklaces. Here is a close up picture so you can see it well:
As you can see, the necklace is 3-d, with solid felt balls, protuberances. Everything is hand beaded. The necklace is actually extremely light despite it's size. Here is the video and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.
The inspiration for this very organically shaped necklace came from the book, "Seeds; Time Capsules of Life" 2nd edition by Rob Kesseler & Wolfgang Stuppy. This book contains the most astounding microscopic photographs of seeds. One look and all I can see are felt shapes. Every time I turn I page I am left breathless.
Oh, and did I mention color. Well let me say, whenever a student asks me if a color goes with another color, my answer is always look at nature. The most unique juxtapositions of color can be found in nature and this book is a testament to that fact. I will be dipping into the pages of this book for inspiration for a long time to come.
I've got to get going to my studio. I'm making new spring wearables, and am excited to show them off to you.
Till then, Happy Felting!
