Maker Faire and Annular Solstice

Picture
Unfortunately I did not get picked to be at the Bazaar Bizarre this year. On the other hand, I could enjoy the Maker Faire with my family. Thanks to the Exploratorium handing out solar viewing glasses we could follow the whole process. Got some cool pics of sun/moon shadows.

Chickens!




We found a stray chicken in the street behind our house.
We eventually caught her, not easy because she was quite a good flyer. I am now learning about chickens and planning a chicken coop. Was amazing when
the chicken after two weeks suddenly decided to lay a daily egg.

Have also been busy learning to knit. Thought I should
as a hommage to fibers and wool.
Made a pair of socks, not perfect, but warm and cozy.

The most exclusive wool...
This summer in Colorado I visited a store that was selling what was basically wool from the armpits of baby
buffalo. Extremely  soft and expensive.

On the web I now found the most exclusive wool:
from the arctic muskox, the Qiviuk (good scrabble word!).

It does not shrink, and can not be used for felting, however.

Really like this site and hope to see the exhibit:
washedashore.org
It's the story of Angela Hazeltine Pozzi and her
art made from trash from the ocean.

We were off on a road trip for  3 weeks (Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, Great Basin. Yosemite...amazing nature),
came home and were watering raspberry bushes when
we discovered four wet kittens, so it is quite busy right now. For more on the kittens, go to:

    I'm originally from Sweden. I have lived in Newark, in the East Bay (of the San Francisco Bay), for the last 16 years. I have a husband, two kids in their tweens
    and teens,
    and a dog, Scamper (see Gallery 4), 2 cats, 4 chickens. I've always been doing some kind of drawing, painting or different creative pursuits. Needle felting is a lot of fun right now.
