Tamar Mogendorff

I first came across this talented artist when I first moved to the states. Her work is so refreshing and I love her use of thread, stitch style and fabric that construct each piece she makes.

Here is a snippet from her website plus some pictures for you to enjoy:

“Using thousand and thousand of fabrics and threads to create her ideas in her Brooklyn workshop, Tamar Mogendorff’s world is populated with swans, bears and mushrooms carefully made by her fairy fingers. The originality of her creations is in the choice and assembly of the fabrics from gaudy to the precious, the subtle or solid.”

Happy Labour Day..

I taught a needle felting flower class this weekend at the lovely Cast Away yarn shop in Santa Rosa, it was a blast as usual and I wanted to share some of my students finished pieces. In the past I have only had grown ups that sign up for the class but this time I had a girl of 6. I was in awe at how skilled she was and she made more flowers than anyone else!!
