    Felted art and jewelry  
     
shim

I have become a felting fanatic exploring my "stuff" through felted sculptures. For example, Reuben, above, is an elderly Jewish intellectual, reminiscent of some of my family members. He loves to hang out on bookshelves and engage in dialectical conversations. Reuben can be quite argumentative as he engages in passionate discourse around existential and impractical concerns, other times he can get quite depressed at the general state of the world and is overcome by a sense of hopelessness seen in the world weary slump of his shoulders. You can see more of Reuben on my Etsy site MiraArt.etsy.com. I have several other “Jewish” animal sculptures in the works, which I will upload when they are done. Below you can see some of my felted jewelry, modeled by the lovely Ali, one of my former students. Some of this jewelry is also available on my etsy site. Most of the wool is organic and sustainably grown by the lovely folks at EsthersPlaceFibers.com.
