I remember a time, not so very long ago, when I could only get raw Texel fleeces, and later some merino from Australia. It is amazing how much the wool landscape has changed over the past decade or so, and how much more local wool is available and appreciated now.
I don’t know why, but there was no sheep shearing this year. There were other fleeces walking around on four legs, though.
Wow, wow, wow!!! The felted people – fabulous – I did look at her website – just looked at the picture – what great work. Thank you for sharing this great exhibit with us.
Amazing, aren’t they, those felted people and portraits? I was really impressed and moved by this project.
“Look for the good in people, enjoy the things you do, and know that growing old is a search for a new balance.”
So very true. I’m trying to learn how to be retired & this statement speaks to me today!
The artwork is stunning… Thank you, Marijke for sharing this outing with us.
Sharing this was a pleasure to me. Retiring is a huge step and takes a lot of adjusting. I hope you’ll soon get used to it, find new and meaningful things to do, and even enjoy your new freedom.
