I took just some ounces of that lovely super wash BFL roving I dyed earlier, and turned into this:
So, look for some soft, luscious, bulky, textural BFL handspun to show up in the shop, with soonness.
Productivity!
In anticipation of fall/winter, and because it's what I do, I have been knitting hats (like crazy). I'm hoping to do a thorough photo session and etsy shop listing later this week, flooding the shop with knits.
However, my model, a humble styrofoam head, was looking sad and sorry--moving between Seattle and Portland, home and studio, had not suited her very well.
So--an updated look was in order. It was super simple, too. I bought a wooden plaque at the local crafty superstore ($2.99), and painted it. I then mixed a little white glue and water together, and applied small, ripped up pieces of tissue paper to the foam, until I was more or less satisfied. It might still need some evening out--I'll have to see what it looks like when it's dry enough to put a hat on.

And, a before shot, for your reference. A little battered, no? I'm thinking it's significantly better, now.
