Thanksgiving Fraktur


Wishing you a Thanksgiving filled with wonderful memories~


I first learned about Fraktur in college...


Definition of FRAKTUR

1
:  a German style of black letter
2
often not capitalized :  a Pennsylvania German document (as a birth or wedding certificate) that is written in calligraphy and illuminated with decorative motifs (as tulips, birds, and scrolls)

True Fraktur is beautiful~
My sketchbooks are filled with these little sketches.
My notebooks from college (especially the non-art classes)
have simple designs influenced by Fraktur in the borders!




Happy Thanksgiving, Sweet Friends!

Winter wren needle felted~


This little wren friend isn't so little...


Her name is Winnie Wren!
She is looking forward to a coat made of wool~


Sweet Winner before I started to add her feathers!
I start most of my needle felting with plain, raw wool.
No color, to save money~


I found this old wood turning well over 15 years ago...
It has been waiting for the perfect project!
I think it will make a neat perch for our Winnie girl~

Hope your week is off to a great start, Friends!
