Learning Something New~

Because it is the season of busy and I need something else 

to do...,

I am taking a class and learning something new.

Felting and wool have always interested me,

so when the local  UAF campus offered a course

in wet and dry felting,

I signed up.

The instructor is from Finland

and has a shared position between  their  college

and Alaska's universities.

She is also the Rangeland Management professor

who teaches courses relating to raising reindeer

for profit and subsistence.

The first night we talked about the process

then practiced on some little projects..

Wet-felted wool balls

and a needle-punched ornament ? tag?

work-in-progress??

I might need a little more practice,

but it is was a fun evening with good folks.

Can't wait to see what we try next.....
