Hooked On Felt

Hooked On Felt Suzanne Higgs/ Hooked On Felt I am a felt artist, specializing in wearable fiber art. I am on a great adventure called feltmaking.

My felt hats are vibrant in color and sculpture in design, sometimes over dyed, sometimes not, sometimes simple straight lines, sometimes clay like in nature. My work is constantly evolving as I learn new things or attempt to stretch my imagination and skills, or as the wool leads. No matter how long my days on earth, I hope they are all filled with feltmaking, and learning daily. I teach felting,

both needle and traditional wet felting, as well as the nuno felting throughout the USA. There is great satisfaction in passing the knowledge, fascination, and passion forward. I am the original designer of the Needle Felt Hat Forms, so 12 years ago now. While I still teach with the needle felt forms, I most often use the traditional wet felt methods. My finished felts are available directly from me, at several local galleries, at fiber art shows, and on Etsy.com

The Urn is completed and approved by Joyce's family. It was an emotional process for me.
The bird pods arrived safe in Florida and the gals who received them absolutely loved them, I am told. That makes my heart happy.
I have so many ideas running through my head, but it is garden and yard time and I have a 48 hr a week "job" puppy sitting the pictured cutie. (Poor me, huh?)
Anyway, just wanted to show you the urn.

Did finish the Bird Pod that was on the felting table. My camera turns this pod blue, but it is really turquoise. Now, with a heavy heart, I will begin the Cremation Urn.

Another box of wool!!! 15 #. I am speechless at the kindness and generosity of fiber friends. Think it will keep me busy for a bit? Blessed and beyond grateful.

There will be a pause on Bird Pod making for a bit. A dear friend, Joyce, has died and I will be making an urn for her cremation. She was next in line for a bird pod, but life and death happen and we adjust accordingly. I will miss her and our Wednesday evening chat. I know she is Home.
This is a photo of one of the urns I made in the past for family members. I think I have made 5 so far for this purpose.

About 4 weeks ago I gave my Coton de Tulear a puppy cut. I put some of his lovely coat out for the birds. I've refilled this basket 3 times! The birds really seem to like it. I love seeing birds fly off with a beak full of Teddy fuzz!

The Celestial Pod is not going outside. Genevieve wants it in her kitchen window instead. Her pod, her call.
