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!

Praying for France~

Holding you tight in our thoughts and prayers~
