exotic art yarns bundle - violets
These are the most lovely fibers - so soft and such beautiful colours. I got them from Grace at Larkspur Funny Farm. She is such a wonderful lady, so helpful and kind! She will go out of her way to make you happy. She just put together a bundle of art yarns in greens for me!
silk rods "our iris garden"Grace also has these beautiful silk rods in all kinds of ravishing colours!! This is where the silk rod in my Peaseblossom's Necklace is from!
She offers a wonderful selection of fibers from her own farm; mohair, alpaca, merino, cashmere, silks. Just the selection sounds luscious! Check her out, I'm sure you won't be disappointed!

Renate, that toggle is fabulous! I just love how it slides into the lobe of the heart. Beautiful. Those fibres are really yummy colours. Waiting with baited breath to see what you do. I know it will be inspired. Cheers, LeAnn
That clasp is really awesome! I love the Objects and Elements blog and the people there. And I could kick myself for not buying some of Susan's fiber bundles at B&B...I even picked them up but didn't realize what they were and I was in such a hurry to buy my texturizing hammer from her that I left my wallet there! I even had to come back! sheesh! You make lovely things, Renate. Enjoy the day! Erin
I laugh at your addiction cause I know how it feels! It could be worse, but fibers are so yummy.
I have a room full of them.
Your necklace and clasp are beautiful. You make me smile!
Renate: I think your clasp is so pretty! I love the fibers. The colors are wonderful. I have always thought that fibers look so great and colorful in jewelry designs. My other thought is..won't they get yucky after a while? I mean, it seems like they'd wilt or something after wearing them several times. I have a collection of various fibers, but have only used them in pins.
Thank you LeAnn, Erin, Rosanne and Doreen, for your kind words!
I don't know yet how the fibers will be in jewellery, must make a try first.
Oh, wow! I almost forgot to come back to leave a comment, I got so engrossed in the links you provided. I could be such a fiber addict - what you got there is just wonderful! And that clasp is stunning! Your jewelry is just amazing!! Hugs, Silke
Beautiful clasp Renate.....I just love seeing the hammering and the twisted bar! Are you sure you can't come over for coffee....I mean...how far is it really?!!!!lol
I love your heart clasp!! Looks like you are having so much fun.
I understand your addiction I have it also and have boxes of fibers, ribbons, and yarns. I can never have too many. Thanks for the heads up about a new shop for fibers.
Thank you Silke, Sharon, Debbie and Lorrie!!
Love the fibers...LOVE the clasp! It's fantastic, Renate!
Great O & E entry. And the colors of those fibers really sing!
