Announcing Global Knits

Well, after thinking it over again and again, I decided it was time to go global, so I changed my Etsy shop name from PA Fiberartist to Global Knits. It was time to change the name to something new and current -- and Global Knits kept popping into my head.

There will be a new shop banner ordered today from a photographer on Etsy based in Poland named Bialakura and it will be uploaded to the shop hopefully in the next few days. I hope you like the new name, banner, and continue to visit my Etsy shop!

Here is my latest felted scarf. It was nunofelted combining a Thai silk blue scarf, blue and purple fleece, and silk pieces onto a black, very soft, prefelted background. I then needlepunched the entire scarf with my Babylock Embellisher. There is an added kilt pin with strips of hand-dyed silk ribbon and scrim (hand-dyed in England).

It's very soft and comfortable. Definitely, wearable art!

Mermaid Jewelry

Resin pendants are so popular now, so I started experimenting with my felting techniques. Voila! Mermaid Jewelry! The colors and style remind me of mermaid jewelry. This is so comfortable to wear too!

This pendant tray is made of lead-free pewter. The back has etched swirls with a black undertone. I made the chain using silver-plated chain, finished with a sterling silver lobster claw clasp.

The needle felt is mostly wool fleece, needle punched with bits of hand-dyed silk from Oliver's Twists, and embellished with aqua Miyuki seed beads.
The necklace is a standard size 16" chain, which fits comfortably on most people.

This is another pendant - round - and filled with needle punched felt, embellished with seed beads.

From far away, it looks like a tiny painting of an organic landscape.












This will be listed on my etsy shop soon!
