treasure at alchemy

I'm as happy as a pig in heaven!

I love, love, love going into alchemy and making things. This has truly been a dream come true for me--to have all my "stuff" around me, and be able to actually find the things that I am looking for to make something precious out of nothing special. The class concept, however, doesn't seem to be working as well as I had hoped. I think once I finish with this session of workshops, I'm going to change the format. I'll post here samples of things I've made and/or things I want to try, and let people sign up for whatever it is that grabs their creative fancy. We can then set a mutually convenient time, and folks can either come in themselves or with a group of friends. We'll make it a party!

Some pictures of the studio and things I've made

Using old socks and gloves that have lost their mate

Next week at alchemy, we'll be making sock and glove stuffed animals. I have gloves and socks available, but if you have an old favorite that has lost its mate, feel free to bring it along!

Felted Wool Creations

Next week at alchemy I'll be making hats and scarves out of felted wool. Some of the things I've been working on are available for purchase up the street at nest (622 High Street in Dedham). Please come by and join me--bring your favorite old sweaters which got shrunk in the wash by mistake, and we'll turn them into something precious.
