Nuno Felted Eco Dyed Vest

A beautiful organic, eco dyed, seamless nuno felted vest made by hand in the traditional wet felting method - no sewing, no knitting.  I started with natural wool roving and felted it on to  white silk organza.  When finished I dyed it in a bath of eucalyptus.  

Wear it open, closed, inside out upside out.  Use the cords and holes to fasten as you like.  Dress it up or down.  It really is wearable art.

Eco Printed Nuno Felted Poncho

My beautiful sister-in-law Nancy, who's a big supporter of my craft, is modeling one of my eco printed nuno felted seamless ponchos. 

 I hand made and wet felted this poncho using wool roving and silk gauze; it is seamless and has no sewing involved.   Afterwards I bundled it and eco dyed it with eucalyptus leaves.  It would be a stylish yet functional piece to wear on a cool summer's evening.

Whale Watching 2013

Our biennial Baja whale watching trip was amazing and for the second time in my life, I got to kiss a whale.  You cannot imagine the thrill of being so up close and personal with these giant mammals.  I invite you to watch the 14 minute video I compiled from my still shots if you want to share the excitement and joy of whale watching at San Ignacio Lagoon and our other Baja experiences at Punta Bufeo, Punta Chivato, Mulege and Loreto.

Kayaking at Punta Chivato 

Our fab room at the Hotel Hacienda, Punta Chivato

I loved wearing my new nuno felted eco printed dress.  Here I'm ready to go to the traditional Saturday evening pig roast in the dining room at the Hotel Serenidad  - Mulege, Baja.

What a thrill!  Whale watching at San Ignacio Lagoon.
