See Beauty! Sometimes in our day to day lives it is difficult to find beauty in the little things. Cloth Paper Scissors magazine was offering a challenge for "felted wonders". I love my felting machine but was at a creative road block. My friend Jamie was pulling her mail out of her box at work when I spotted the cover. It was absolutely gorgeous. I asked her if I could have it for inspiration. The electron microscope picture was of botulism. There were vibrant purples, oranges, reds, yellows, and blues. I felted the quilt with pure dyed wool roving. The small spore forming bacteria were constructed from wool roving and old nylon scarves in yellow and green. Black nylon scarves were felted around the border. The scarves were then hand stitched with purple cotton embroidery floss. Large orange beads were added for dimension. Finally a quote from an old dictionary defines beauty and a cool dog tag that says "see" was pinned on the front. As a reminder, remember, beauty is everywhere you just have to open your eyes.
