If you need a pick me up, check out Jannell’s blog for images of her ginniepig wearing crocheted outfits like this image depicts. I selfishly hope this becomes a series of posts that continues into the future for my own happiness.

Bridgette turned her samples into silly drawings for a blog post. I’m really interested in the exploration and fun in this idea since I don’t usually get to see  fiber technique samples get turned into digital doodles.

Did you know that Dang collected hair from his dog for some felting experimentation? Cool stuff.

So makes and posts these lovely step by step drawings in her notes for how to do different fiber processes we covered this semester on her blog. This particular example shows the wet felting process.
