here’s what we have tentatively planned for fiber arts camp, thanks to all of you who helped me with your fabulous ideas!
i’m not very good at felting, but it’s fun! my snake wiggled free one of his pipe cleaners and you can see the pipe cleaner under his chin. i fully expect the kids to be better at this than i am. the front bead is made of yarn, the others are made of roving. does anyone know if these really need hot water poured over them? they seem pretty felted to me…
spinning
with the hooks you see in the top
adina already has planned some weaving – bags or little cardboard loomed pieces and i picked up some yogurt containers that can be used to weave in and out of to make little baskets. to which i might like to add some paper weaving we’ll see. we’re also planning lots of knitting, needle felting, sun printing, and tie dye.
sounds like we have plenty of stuff! now we just need to organize ourselves :) i’m hoping for good weather so we can do lots of this outside.
