whispering voices

my absolutely exquisite brooch by cathy cullis arrived yesterday. the multiple faces just spoke to me. she calls it part of her tumbling dreamers series, but to me, it whispers of the multiple voices we all have in our heads, vying (dying?) for our attention and trying to lead us in all directions. i think i saw it first on flickr and couldn't believe my luck when it was still in her shop. it feels so much like it represents where i am right now, at this moment, it's like it was meant to be mine. i am at once disturbed and comforted by the whispers of the voices.

and i am still thinking about her post on art supplies. that and wanting some black gouache now. 

cathy cullis' blog. and etsy (where i scored my brooch).

crazy awesome, thought-provoking embroidery here. 

it made me a little bit unable to breathe.

fiber love

i got the most wonderful collection of felting fibers on etsy and i just had to share this goodness with you. half of my collecting of beautiful soft, colorful crafting supplies is about photographing them and just enjoying gazing upon them. sabin and i, after stumbling onto kit lane's beautiful felt creations, have been felting quite a bit lately (i will have to photograph and show you the felt hammer and nail sabin made for her father for his birthday). so when i found the moxie mix fiber collection on etsy, i ordered it up. and i can tell you, it's one of my most delightful etsy finds in a long time. if you like to felt (or spin), make haste to art club on etsy. you will definitely be inspired.

high quality.

fabulous colors.

what more can you ask?

look at these luscious locks!
