All it took was a video by Nicole Chazaud Telaar to spark an idea for these Northeast Feltmakers Guild felting friends. The video showed Nicole’s community shadow floral piece. These friends drew shadows from flowers and then felted the floral scenes using prefelt wool.

Members of the NorthEast Feltmakers Guild did not disappoint as they presented art in adherence with this year’s August challenge. The challenge was to incorporate the method of ™️ into their wool art.

The results are amazing! And the secondary benefit of these challenges is when members are able to get together and work on these pieces together.

A huge thank you to Ellen Silberlicht for getting the challenge together, Elizabeth Stubbs for getting the word out in our newsletter and Debbie Penley ~ Fiber Artist for creating the form to accept the work and also creating the presentation of the work.

Check out this gorgeous felted purse created by NEFG member, Marsha “Sam” Biderman.

One of the many advantages of being a member of Northeast Feltmakers Guild is attending the many workshops provided (both zoom and in-person). The Tendral Purse class was taught by Pócs Judit and is still available to view on the nefguild.org web site.

Well done Sam!

Find other NEFG members in your area and invite them to felt together! Take pictures of your process and work to be included in the August presentation. Photos to be sent by August 2nd.

Have fun!!

NEFG members can go to www.nefguild.org to view the recorded session with Zentangle instructor for more information on this drawing method.

NEFG member, Kim Goodling from shared her vast array of wool knowledge with students this past weekend. In the workshop, Fiber to Felt, Kim demonstrated the entire process of shearing, skirting, washing, picking, carding, and finally felting the sheep wool. The range of students prior knowledge was from felting to farming or new to it all! We all were amazed by the process and everyone left with an adorable and useful tote bag. Hard to believe the wool in the bag was on a sheep’s body just a few days ago.

Sanborn Mills is a magical place. We could not have asked for a more beautiful setting. And the food? It is all farm to table and absolutely delicious.
