Elizabeth's fiber arts camp

An ice cream party was the culmination of Elizabeth's fiber arts camp yesterday. The girls set up all of their art projects for everyone to see what they worked on through the week.


A bracelet with a button charm


some polymer buttons and beads


a needlefelted flat piece
and stained glass candleholder


a crocheted blanket WIP


and the Pièce de résistance: yarn that they spun themselves from wool that they dyed with koolaid


Elizabeth's was the "colorful cupcake" colorway. :)


And in the middle of the celebrating, one of the girls found a cicada who had just finished shedding his skin. He was the hit of the party.


Elizabeth had a wonderful week at the fiber arts camp and is already asking to attend next year. I think that sounds like a good idea.

  1. Her yarn looks delicious! What a sweet little camp! I have to ask out of curiosity, was it all or mostly girls there?

  6. If there was a fiber arts camp when I was a kid I so would have been there. I did go to lots of craft camps though! That yarn is beautiful!
