Finishes

Today I'm showing off some of my newest work - Fibre Art Pendants. They will showcase next weekend at the Provincial Wholesale Show here in St. John's. These pendants are needle felted and inserted into the metal pendant trays. These trays are nickel and lead free. Check out last Sunday's post. Now I'm waiting for the one inch pendant trays to arrive.

Pendants

Thursday I showed you some work in progress. Well, the needle felting has turned into pendants. I have also added some beading to further enhance the design. In a few (not shown) I have not added beads as I think the embellished felt looks great as is. These are metal (lead & nickel free) in 5 different colours: pewter, silver, black, copper, and antique gold. These pendants measure approximately 1" x 2". I am also ordering the 1" x 1" pendant sizes and 24"chains to match the 5 colours. The green in the first photo is darker than shown.

Needle Felted Pendants

I did some market testing on my needle felted pendants at Some Good Market today. They were quite well received and I could have sold the ones I had with me. One lady saw them and said, 'OMG, these are gorgeous!' Needless to say, I was quite pleased. However. before I put them on the market, I want to have suitable packaging and labeling ready. A couple of stores also expressed an interest in carrying them.

I wore the one below on a long silver chain over a black top. It did look lovely and I received compliments for it! Finding a suitable source for necklaces is my next job.

Some Good Market

February 8 is the first Some Good Market in St. John's for 2014. The Telegram wrote a piece about the market back in 2012. This market has a large variety of vendors from high end arts and craft (for example: jewellery, silk scarves, knitted goods and yarn for knitting, wool roving, wall art, pet related items, quilting and sewing), to bakery items, home made jams and other food stuff. It's well worth a visit. Valentine's Day is less than a week away and you just might find a gift for that special someone!

I will be there tomorrow with a couple of new items :

• Cord Wraps
• Valentine Art Cards
• Felted & Stitched Pendants (I have 5)
