(What, by the way, is a "felted" piece of jewelry? I've never heard of it before) This felted jewelry is very unusual and I think, rather unique to the artist. She claims that she has researched it and no one else is doing anything like it. She gets fleece and somehow adds color, I think largely by combing dye through it, because the color is very vibrant and striking. She uses a felting technique but after she drains the fiber over the screen, while still wet, she sculpts it into petals and flower shapes. One piece I saw looked like a long vine with beautiful blue morning glories on it, wrapped around her neck. At the Christmas Party she had a smaller flower brooch on, but still probably six inches in diameter. Her totally black attire really sets off these vibrant colors and the textural quality makes them scrumptious. I think that this is actually one of the secrets of approaching the art world with lace jewelry. Such people have totally plain attire that they then set off with a stunning work of art jewelry. In fact, in New York, it is not uncommon for people to dress entirely in black such that you sometimes feel that you have stumbled into a mime convention.
