Shepherds Harvest 2011 Amazing fiber animals "movie"
Firstly, I just want to thank all the visitors to my booth this year . You folks were amazing and I appreciate every encouraging word . Since this is the only feedback I get about the things I make, it is really nice for me to hear that some people actually enjoy my sculpted critters ...(.even though some of them do look like a disgruntled postal worker that you worry might pull out an automatic weapon if you look at the the wrong way .....I'm working on trying to make animals that don't look like they might bite.) .

Wow! Love the look of all your work displayed! At the beginning were those silk worms in their coccons? Thanks for the peek!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelly . Yes, we were lucky to have an interesting mother daughter team in the booth next to us . The were selling kits to grow your own silk friends....really fun to see and I was amazed that you could raise your own .
ReplyDeleteI wonder how hard it would be...I'm thinking what a great thing for my classroom, and then something I could use for crafting....just what I need...one more thing to take care of....lol
ReplyDeleteTeach the kids something new and get yourself some fiber for your crafting....sounds like a win/win to me....http://www.suekayton.com/silk.htm
ReplyDeleteI had SOOOOO much fun with you at Shepherd's Harvest (and during our Gabfest at home) - thank you for being such a completely delightful guest and boothmate!! Couldn't have done it without you, partner!!
ReplyDelete(and the customers and admirers were quite right, btw - the critters are charming, and you ARE a genius!)
Sue has a very nice setup for the kits - you not only get at least 20 eggs and all the necessary materials to raise the first generation of silkworms into full moth-hood (including 'worm chow'), but she also includes written instructions and a DVD. She did an excellent job at the festival of setting up her display and giving her mini-lessons on the raising of the worms and how to use their cast-off cocoons. Very interesting, and very reasonably priced. I got a set for my friend, who is a librarian for a local school and until now did a yearly round of raising monarch butterflies. This will be something new and interesting!
ReplyDeleteOops, I mistakenly thought the suekayton site was that of the gal who was selling the kits, but I was wrong! The gal next to us with the kits was Loretta Eue - you can get her kits by contacting her at lorettaspins@gmail.com
