rooots!!!! This jewellery of yours is just perfect for some willow lady wood fairy or something...

how do you make those roots anyway?


ps - Are you watching the soccer World Cup in Germany? Congratulations for beating our team! (I know it's 2:2, but Australia is moving on, Croatia stays behind )

Thanks- it would suit an earthy wood faerie! The Faeries make them for me!!!
I'm not really following the soccer, sorry Croatia!!!

This is amazing! I've never seen anything like this.. your whole gallery is out of this world I'm speechless, i didn't know you could do things like this with fibers. I'd be a fool not to

Oh wow! I like your new "truffle"-beads. I think using felted beads with the vines will be a perfect combination.

njadean In reply to Ellygator [2006-06-21 00:40:59 +0000 UTC]

I've made some green ones too, just gotta finish a few other things before I can get to that!!! I don't know how many pieces you have on the go at once but i find i get kinda obsessed with 1 at a time.

Ellygator In reply to njadean [2006-06-21 11:49:21 +0000 UTC]

I occasionally will have some projects with different media going on at the same time, i.e. a stained glass thing AND a drawing, but within one technique I'm like you: one thing at a time or stuff gets messy...

glee72 [2006-06-20 12:04:00 +0000 UTC]

Beautiful - this is like an organically shaped bar of green and blacks chocolate!! the new addition of the felted beads really adds the overall effect too added dimension and texture - great.

Oh my goodness you are missing out!! It is organic chocolate and the best thing is because it has such a high cocoa content they even say it is good for you!! Whenever i purchase one of your necklaces (in the not too distant future i hope!) i shall send you a bar!

talyra [2006-06-20 11:21:37 +0000 UTC]

...Did you make the felted beads yourself!?!
I really like the strong balance and symmetry of this one. The hanging... bit at the bottom is my fave, I think the copper spiral sets it all off perfectly

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

njadean In reply to talyra [2006-06-21 00:38:53 +0000 UTC]

Yep, made it all myself. Felting is pretty easy, just tiime consuming.
I love the spiral too- loving the copper wire lately.

talyra In reply to njadean [2006-06-21 14:02:16 +0000 UTC]

But doesn't it involve arsenic and other brain-damaging chemicals? Or have they worked out a safe way to do it now?

njadean In reply to talyra [2006-06-22 00:40:16 +0000 UTC]

hell no- just soapy water as far as I know!! Maybe mine isn't true felt??? but either way no chems!

I wonder if I need to move away from brown, but I keep using it, those butterflies are gorgeous!! it's a lovely little touch of lightness.

I have really enjoyed the evolution of your textile pieces. You keep adding new layers of complexity. I love this one!

Scoop51 In reply to Scoop51 [2006-06-21 04:07:56 +0000 UTC]

The creative process is so interesting. You start with a simple idea that works well, and then inspiration follows in waves. It's easy to see why artists go through "periods" (blue periods, or still life phase). It's like the idea gets a life of its own. It must be very exciting for you right now.

Yuehan [2006-06-20 02:55:24 +0000 UTC]

- That's me in awe. As per usual. There's a potency in your work that seems to grow stronger with each new piece. Earth, as it is, has found its way through you, or mebbe I should say that you are channelling strong and clear a vision of the Source. I don't think that's too cryptic....Great work!

Wow, that's quite a compliment!!! Thanks so much!!! I really had troubles with this piece too, so it's nice to hear that you see such potency in it. Thanks!
