CHRISTMAS CRECHE TEXTILE SCULPTURE

CHRISTMAS CRECHE TEXTILE SCULPTURE

(KnottyladyDesigns...)
These seasonal pieces are molded & crafted from muslin,wire shapes and a special paste and then allowed to dry. Please take note of how carefully the muslin fabric must be handled to create the look of folded fabric and the way in which the robes look as though they have drape to them. After the drying process they are very firm and can be spray painted or handpainted with gold or silver. Cording is used for hair on the angels and also for ties on the shepherds' robes and Joseph's robe and the head pieces. The tallest angel is 18 inches high ;small angels 8 inches high, Mary(holding baby Jesus)/Joseph & shepherds 12 inches high; wisemen 15 inches high (each). Sturdy and gorgeous seasonal pieces. I have made them each five feet high using wire plant holders (firm wire tomato stands) for an altar display. These are beautiful year after year. (One can finish these with jewels for the wisemen and Joseph and the shepherds have wooden staffs that fit into each of their hands.
Mardi Gras (organic pottery)

Mardi Gras (organic pottery)

(KnottyladyDesigns...)
Fascinating wool & soy fibers knitted and felted to create beautiful & functional bowls, trivets & coasters. It is exciting to explore different shapes and fibers to create something beautiful & useful for home or office. Densely felted these organic pottery pieces offer an appreciation for Nature & an expanding opportunity for unique designs with inspiration from different cultures & traditions. Unique & versatile with a variety of uses. The possibilities are endless. Unique & multi-faceted the knitting & felting process is unpredictable and once I am working with the piece-suddenly I know what works and it becomes art. The smaller bowl nests into the larger bowl for added convenience. (trivets & coasters sprayed on backs with non-skid adhesive for safety)

English Rose Garden (organic pottery)

This wool & soy organic yarn knitted & felted into a beautiful English Garden theme. How beautifully the colors came through the felting process. These two bowls with a trivet & four coasters remind me of the serenity of a rose garden with the lovely pinks & greens. An organic garden treasure these remind me of roses in an April dawn shimmering with morning dew in an English Rose Garden. The bowls are nested together on the trivet with four coasters tied with wool/soy yarn. Trivet & coaster backs sprayed with non-skid fabric coating ) Thanks for stopping by.

The wool/soy organic yarn kniitted & felted into a gorgeous sky, sea & sand theme. The essence of Beyond The Sea is the sea itself stirring powerful memories of Kiawah Island, South Carolina.

Clinging Vines (wine sac & caddy)

(KnottyladyDesigns...)
Gorgeous organic wool/soy yarn felted into this lovely beverage sac & wine caddy knitted/felted with organic yarns. The knitted/felted vines & berries were added after the felting process to embellish both the beverage sac & caddy. ICord ties are embellished at the ends with seed beads in various colors to compliment the felted yarn. Song lyrics came to mind when I designed this host/hostess set. Dean Martin sang 'Cuddle up a little closer, Lovey mine; cuddle up & be my little Clinging Vine' & because I am a fan of Dean Martin songs I 'felt' it apropos to name this 'Clinging Vines'. Enjoy & thanks for stopping by. Fabulous host/hostess gift with any beverage. Caddy is lovely on the table or buffet.
