Artist's Palette Shawl

(Knit Textile Art)

Artist's Palette Shawl Stunning mohair yarn in a blend of impressionist colors & a lovely novelty yarn in the same color palette knitted together to create this stunning shawl. Light & airy (but cozy) this lovely shawl's ruffled sides & fringed ends gives it a romantic flair. My attempt with yarns at impressionism & its 'en plein air' attempts to emphasize vivid overall effects to achieve the overall effect of intense color vibration. This attempt at impressionism expresses a bright & varied use of color. Each airy fringe is accented at the top points with a wisp of ribbon. Enjoy! Thanks for stopping by.

Trendy or traditional ; pretty and petite are perfect adjectives for these gorgeous knitted , felted & needle felted bags. Until I have a bag in the works and complete it; I have never "FELT" this kind of passion for an art form which is not unique to this era but has been handed down though generations and has become more popular for bags, slippers,mittens, scarves and anything that can be knitted with the gorgeous wools on the market along with so many beautiful novelty yarns. I hope that you enjoy looking at my felted pieces as much as I enjoy the whole process from hand spun yarn to kettle dyeing to the final felting process it is a challenging and fulfilling artform. The process of needle felting adds decorative wool 'pictures' to my finished felted pieces & at times gives the piece a three dimentional look. It is a very rewarding process. I have used many mediums and this is one of my favorites because it is like 'PAINTING WITH YARN". My theme bags/totes are exciting to create but I have other artistic creations that I will enjoy sharing with you. Thank You for stopping by. Patricia Maxwell
