Needle felting is the art of transforming wool fibers into three dimensional objects using an assortment of barbed needles. It has been practiced for thousands of years, even back so far as the time of Job. Wool made into felt has long been used as an essential element for shelter, clothing, hats, saddles, rugs, and other daily necessities - and art!</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Josefin Slab;">When you felt wool, you are agitating the fibers in a way that binds them together, creating a solid form. </span></b><b style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Josefin Slab;">The process starts by gathering together a small amount of wool fibers and placing them on a mat. These wool fibers are tightly rolled up in a small bundle. The wool is then "stabbed" over and over again with the felting needle to lock the fibers together, eventually creating a firm texture . . . felt! By continuing to add more and more wool, little by little the fibers can be formed into a textile sculpture. </span></b><b style="font-family: "Josefin Slab"; font-size: large;">I have enjoyed felting a wide variety of wildlife this winter. There are birds, rabbits, pigs, sheep, owls, a vole, a chipmunk, a goat, and a few mice.

A recent rainstorm brought more twigs down in the yard. After gathering them up I noticed that some of them were covered with wonderful lichens so I had to use them for <i>something</i>! I cut them taller than a small clay pot, and tucked them under a rubber band going around the pot.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Earlier this spring I made a potting bench out of 2x4's and cedar pickets. I also added 4 corbels to support a shelf on either side. The corbels had been in my basement for about 5 years - finally put to good use! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once the piece was built, I used a homemade stain made of vinegar and steel wool. Fill a jar halfway with white vinegar, add a torn up very fine steel wool pad, and let it sit for a few days. The vinegar breaks down the steel wool into rusty bits and when applied to wood, affects the tanin, which causes a weathered look I love. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The bench is 2' deep and 6 ' long. It has already been so usefull for transplanting things, arranging flowers, and getting vegetables ready to bring inside. A couple days ago I pulled a big bundle of radishes and rinsed them and trimmed them right here to keep the mess out of the kitchen.</div>

That very bundle of radishes became a playful little radish abstract this morning. Not my usual style but sometimes for me it's all about color. And it's fun to play around with different mediums and styles. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My French Breakfast Radishes are coming in fast and furious. There are a lot of radish salads in my future, so I've been checking out new recipes. This week it'll be Corn Salad with Radishes and Lime, Crunchy Garden Salsa, and Chicken Salad with Radishes and Apples. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I've read that radishes are packed with Vitamins E, A, C, B6, and K. Plus they're high in antioxidants, fiber, zinc, potassium, phosphorous, magnesium, copper, calcium, and iron.<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="background-color: white;"> It's going to be a very healthy week!</span></span></span></div>

It was a cool and breezy day in SE Wisconsin and perfect for working outside. So today I edged, weeded, transplanted, planted, swept, watered, and trimmed. Late afternoon came with quite a drop in temperature and a great downpour! What perfect timing!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I planted radishes again, but this year I planted two varieties, Sparkler and French Breakfast.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've pulled and used some of the Sparkler, but I was curious to taste the French Breakfast even though they're not fully grown yet. so I pulled a few. </div>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Summer is finally here! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With all that's going on in the world right now, I am so grateful for my time spent in the garden - a retreat right in my own backyard! This blog has been pretty silent for awhile, but it's time to bring it back to life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I moved into my home almost 4 years ago, it came with a pretty big yard. There's an area in the back at the bottom of a little slope that is flat and in full sun. A perfect place for a vegetable garden. Nothing huge, just big enough for some of my favorite vegetables. So I built this twig fence adding a little something new each summer. The plank entrance came along soon after due to the mud.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The posts, raised beds, and plank entrance are made with cedar. All year long I save the branches and twigs that fall from my trees, along with longer branch trimmings from the shrubs. When I get a nice big pile I head down to the garden and add them to the fence. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last summer I added the gate, and this summer I designed a sign for the entrance out of a piece of plywood that has been in the garage since I moved in. This garden has become a place of quiet, peace, and solace for me. I hope you'll check back, and watch my garden grow throughout the summer!</div>

Grooming, watering, weeding, feeding, and finally PICKING! Now, it's August and the summer garden is bursting with inspiration! Supposedly, yellow and orange represent freshness, optimism, remembrance, loyalty, and joy, among other things. That's a lot of positive stuff making yellow and orange great colors to have in your home. This painting was done on a warm summer night in my little home studio. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Icelandic Blue Poppy symbolizes imagination, luxury, and success. The delicate petals are wrinkled and crepe-like due to being tightly packed into the bud. It is said that the hairs (which seem to be everywhere on this plant) have an unusual taste which protects it from predators. And the seeds found in the pod of the poppy are used in cooking and bird seed. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What do you do while you're waiting to get your hands in the dirt? When May has arrived and the nights are still too cold to plant, and the ground is too wet to till? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the best parts of spring's arrival on the calendar, is to plan your garden while you wait for spring to make its arrival in the weather department. This year I plan on doing some botanical drawings while I wait, so I'll be posting drawings of some favorite flowers and plants.</span></div>

<b>Livia is loosely based on the Ilia Underwing moth. </b><b>She was lovingly and painstakingly made in Texas while I was visiting a friend and now she's made it all the home to Wisconsin. </b><b>Livia looks great posed on old text, an ornate old book, in an open frame, or on the wall all by herself. The larvae of this moth feeds on oak trees so placement or display with acorns and oak leaves would make her very happy. She is one of a kind and made of medium weight fabric, faux fur, and wire. </b><b>The furry abdomen gives her a very realistic look. </b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First of all, I'm back to the blogger platform for my blog posts. While there were a lot of aspects of WIX that I liked, it's just not as user friendly as Blogger. So this is where you'll find me in the future.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sometimes you need a <i>certain</i> kind of day to feel inspired for a <i>certain</i> kind of project and today is the day to do a little experimenting with these interesting fabrics. Each one has been chosen for a specific reason and I'm anxious to get started. I hope you'll follow along . . . </div>

On a sunny, summer day I drove past a farmer's field in southeast Wisconsin where a small herd of cows was milling around. When I walked up to the fence every head turned my way, and out of curiosity, started lumbering toward me. The next thing I knew there were about fifteen of them all jockeying for position. They were eager to pose, shuffling around so everyone got a chance in the front row. Once they decided I had nothing to offer they got bored and mooved on . . . </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The old Eble Barn was a stately landmark in Wisconsin for many years. It took two days for 36 men to raise the barn in 1936, but it stands no more. The barn was such a familiar part of the Brookfield landscape, standing firm as Blue Mound Road developments came closer with each passing year. When I heard of the coming destruction of the barn, I spent a day sketching on the grounds and taking photos. </div>

This painting can be purchased from my Etsy shop by clicking <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/gillyflowercottage" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: red;">here</span></b></a>. This 12 x 12 inch original oil painting comes is in a solid wood, black, 'floater' frame. ("These unique frames are so named because the illusion they create is that your artwork is "floating" within the frame instead of being covered by it". -Blick)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
The colors, the deep grooves, the shape of Cinderella pumpkins are beautiful. And expensive!<br />
So, my group of willing ladies and I are going to give it a shot. We're going to make our own Cinderellas and ours will last forever! My plan is to use canvas drop cloths for the shape, fishing line for the grooves, and grapevine for the stems.<br />
<br />
