I love glass beads. I love the colors. I love watching people make them… seeing the red hot glass swirling around… people seem so concentrated and relaxed when they are doing it. I can’t wait to have the chance to learn it myself. Im hoping to do so soon at the same Atelier where I [...]

For a while now I’ve been working on some wall hangings. Mostly experimenting with shapes, fibers and embellishments.Making a perfectly square piece of handfelted fabric is not as easy as it may seem. Keeping all those fibers straight is quite difficult.

A few months ago I saw these blank canvas bags in a shop and bought them immediately with the idea of sewing some pattern onto them later.
