Tweed Artist and Artisans Xmas sale
Sorry I haven't posted for a while. I was away on a trip to London, England. London is great at Xmas time and of course not complete without a trip to Harrods in Knightsbridge. It has been beautifully renovated by its Egyptian owner with an Egyptian theme. There are huge gold Tutan Carmun's ( I don't know how to spell this) and Sphynxes. Fortunately, the famous food hall is still more or less the same as I remembered it - I lived in london until I was thirty. The servers still wear their straw boaters. There were no signs of the recession as Gucci and Prada handbags were selling in the thousands of dollars!
Back to Tweed, Ontario where we put on a nice gift sale to raise money for the Tweed Heritage Centre, an old house renovated to house a museum and art gallery. I have a couple of pictures in the permanent collection there.
I made some small hand-felted "paintings" which sold quite well for about $25 each. Of course, hand-made original soaps and beeswax candles were the most popular items.
Here is one of my small fibreart pieces:
