Plans for this season

The American "Viking Magazine" will bring a story about felt in their next issue and has asked me if I would send them some of my photos to illustate the story.

The Danish publisher "Fiber Feber" (Fiber Fever) is about to publish a book about feltmaking. They want to describe all kinds of feltmaking so they have asked feltmakers to send photos of their work to them and then they have chosen 25 feltmakers to participate in the book. I will be one of them, so I am going to write a text where I shall chose how I will tell about my work with the felt. It will be exiting to follow how the book developes and it is a good idea to make a book that describes many kinds of feltmaking.

Lately I have worked with several figures for a big exhibition i am going to make in March here in Denmark. Specially a little orangutan-baby is so cute so I have really fallen in love with it.

Now it is also season for the pixies. I can see it on the many orders I get on felting-needles and people have also started to order pixies. The art and craft shop in Copenhagen, where I use to sell my things, have also asked for pixies now, so I think I must concentrate on that for a while. As you soon will see the first pixie this year will be "Doll of the month" in November.

I am home again from a wonderfull week in the Sweedish golden-colored forests. Usually I make the first felted "nisses"(pixies) for Christmas, when I am there, but this year I only managed to make one because I could not keep away from painting aquarel in this fantastic nature.

Doll of the month

Due to computer problems presentation of DOLL OF THE MONTH for October has to wait untill next month,when I hopefully have got my computer back in a new and healthy condition.
This month has been rather busy: I have had the last summerguests in my workshop- this time a French ceramic family who come from a little village where a lot of ceramic arists live, and we already started to plan a felting course in that little town.
The new course season has started here in Denmark. In my first course the theme was my new way of felting dolls and the second course was an animal course where 12 different animals "became alive", among them a polar bear, a brown baby bear and an owl with two little baby owls.
I also made an interview for a Danish handcraft magazine and in the same number there will be a step by step photo instruction on how to make a needle felted goose.
I have already started to work on a big exhibition I shall have in March and I want to go on with the Eagle theme I have been working on for some time.

 
Doll of the Month - September 2009

The doll of the month is this crazy pink bird that was a lot of fun to make. Again it was the wool that was the inspiration. Some time ago one of my students sent me this pink wool and I knew that I wanted to make a crazy bird from that. She had bought the wool from a Danish designer who is famous for his rocking lambs (horses) and for many years he has made these with white or brown lamb´s skin, but then lately he started to make them with pink and neon green wool too and the wool I used for the bird is waste from the rocking lamb.
