The last week has been a flurry of busy – I’ve been running camps in the morning and the afternoon, and totally been immersed in fiberarts.
I wanted to share some of the highlights from this past week.
Working on Pikachu
One of my students in Knockout Punch Rug Needlework created an absolutely stunning Pikachu. Working in Punch Rug Work (like rug hooking, except you’re looking at the wrong side right now), he blasted through the piece displaying both creativity and problem solving, expecially considering the limited palette I had available.
Working on a Fingerless Glove
I had a young eight year old who was ABSOLUTELY DETERMINED that she would finish her fingerless glove, no matter what. Everything else was secondary, every second we had “free work” time, (and some times we did not), she was pulling out her knitting to work “just another row.”
Needle felting, Punch Rug Hooking, Dyed Yarn
I had another camper who fell in love with needle felting, creating a lovely bag, a pillow out of her punch rug work, and took home a gorgeous hand-dyed ball of yarn. She couldn’t have been happier with her projects!
This week marks the last week of the camps, with another round of String Theory, and then Next Step Needlework. I’m so excited to see what students create!
