I am slowly getting acclamated to my new northern home. I can say that my favorite thing so far is the public library system, where I am currently posting and the joys of having free books and movies is awesome. In fact my second day in town I went to the library to get my new card. While most of my life is still in boxes, I have begun to unpack things that are gnawing at me. I have had a box labelled Etsy just waiting patiently for me to get active on. So this post will be the first of those that attempt to discuss the merits of the hand made object. The one featured here is a hand-felted spectator. While it is covered in wool; I expect that it can be worn year round. All the wool has been given a technique related to shibori- in this case, no dye was used, but instead where there were ties, the wool held the shapes. I then hand sewed the felt pieces to a very sturdy headband.
