You all remember my Mom.....
Her love for all things red, bling, and gold lame' has earned her the title of "Glam Ma" by her grandchildren and some casual acquaintances.
Well, "Glam Ma" is quite creative and has been very busy moving her bejeweled fingers to create crocheted bouquets.
And since I can't convince her to start blogging herself and selling her work on Etsy, I have been the fortunate recipient of a variety of flowers that arrive at my house in small plastic "ziplock" bags.
So I've been finding homes for these colorful jewels.
When I visited Sammy this last month I was able to play on her "felting" machine....Oh My Gosh...if you haven't tried one of these yet you must! There is so much possibility for creating amazing surface design with these machines.
I've been experimenting with a collage of different fibers....
felting, applique, machine stitching, sharpie graffiti, and "Glam Ma's" flower bling!

Your mom is very talented! I love that Barbie! Cute stuff and brilliant colors on her flowers!
Oh, these are gorgeous. My sister, Susan is the knitter and fiber artist in the family. She has been experimenting with felted characters, and she loves it. She has put them on her Etsy shop. I must tell her about the felting machine. As always your blog is filled with beautiful colors and texture and so much inspiration. Happy creating. Karen

A felting machine you say? I swear my "want" list is growing by leaps and bounds....my husband said I need a "sugar daddy"! ha!
