Art Off The Wall

 
Raise your hand if you've ever taken a 3 week college credit course! (I once took Neuroanatomy in three weeks....shudder) Well, that's what 
Connie Heller Horacek's faced with the assignment to make a wearable garment for a runway show in 3 weeks. 

 

It must have been a little like project runway around the classroom.

 

 Part of our our mission is the preservation of textile traditions and techniques.  'some things looming' is committed to the next generation of fiber artists.

 

 

 As usual, building mascot, Esmerelda decided she wanted to get into the action and tried to join Connie's class.  I'm not sure she quite understood the assignment.Esmerelda

pin in progressNeedle Felting - Here's some pix from our last needle felting class.  I took this sampler too as I wanted to 'sample' the technique.    It's a lot of fun and Linda is a great teacher.  She made it easy.
