BricolageStudios's Shop Announcement

Update: 11/4/09

WHEW! Just finished the last show of the year so regular updates can start happening again. Next SHOP UPDATE will be Friday 11/6/09 Some batts, a yarnie or two, jewelry, and MAYBE even an orifice hook or two. :)

I added a new section to the shop. Naturally dyed fiber! If all goes well this weekend, I should have some icelandic wool, alpaca, mohair, and some silk cocoons. That is, if I don't want to keep it all for myself. I will be sharing some of the results in my blog unless it is a disaster. :) bricolagestudios.blogspot.com

Also big news (at least a big deal to me,) I now have over 200 people who heart me! :) Thank you all so much! In honor of this I am going to start a sale the date of the shop update next week on some select items so be sure to check back! :) Thanks!

Welcome to my little shop! Here at Bricolage Studios you will find lots of fiber related goodness. I mostly specialize in highly textural, carefully blended batts that are hand cranked through my drum carder. I keep some of these batts for myself when so inspired, and spin em' up into one of a kind art yarns.

When I am not spinning or carding you can often find me hammering away at my work bench on my unique jewelry lines that incorporate metal, fiber, found objects, natural objects, and really whatever I can get my little hands on.

I also create sculpture, dolls, prints, and other weird little things when the mood strikes. Look for some of these items soon.

Etsyians who provide frequently used add-ins for my batts and yarns include:

whorlingtides.etsy.com *lincoln locks
