My Plush Roller Skate!





I am so excited I finally finished my latest project, my plush roller skate! I love the final results, the skate even fits on my foot. People keep asking if it really works, sadly it does not. Anyhow, the felt would wear away in a minute if I skated on it!!! I love roller skates and have been casually looking for an awesome vintage pair that fits me. I am reminded of a rad scene in the Great Muppet Caper where Miss Piggy's purse is stolen and she borrows someone's retro roller skates to chase after the thief.... Its so good!!!

Felt Video


DJ Klock- Theme
I found this felt video on the blog My Love for You is a Stampede of Horses. The video was done by artist Kenji Harata. I love when felt is layered, this is something I have been playing around with on my plush. The texture and thickness of felt creates a soft tactile image. Even when there is a pile of felt scraps, it makes a unique image. Kenji has made a wonderful video with eye-popping colors and shapes!

Aurelie Mathigot






I just discovered the wonderful work of Aurelie Mathigot. Aurelie is a French artist, and I luckily discovered her while browsing through a French magazine at Borders this morning. He crochet work is skillful and beautiful. Aurelie masterfully makes plush crochet of everday items and food. She also creates crochet sheaths for bottles and balls.  Her work is very light and delicate, and reminds me of a warm place.  My favorite is the set of fast food items. I love the container the hamburger rests in!!!
