Beautiful Wet Felted Flowers Make Me Think Spring!

The weather is increasingly getting warmer here in Kansas City. Although it is rainy and cooler today, on average, we have had very Spring-like temperatures and pretty blue skies. This always makes me think of flowers. I just saw a few Easter Lillies in bloom yesterday and was overjoyed at their gorgeous yellow color.

When I want to gaze at some of the most beautiful felted flowers around, I just visit lanadeflor's shop on Etsy. She creates gorgeous, lifelike flowers of all types, sizes, and colors. It is a treat for the eye! And, if you'd like to see even more felted flower creations, check out this Etsy search. Whatever the weather is where you are, maybe these lovely flowers will put a smile on your face and remind you that Spring will eventually come.

Funky's Fiber Artist Spotlight on Lana de Flor! A fellow feltmaker and Etsy seller!

I've resolved to start highlighting some of my fellow fiber artists on a regular basis. There are just so many talented feltmakers that I've come across during my time on the internet. It would be a shame not to share some of them with you along with their wonderful shop links.

The Etsy shop Lana de Flor belongs to a lovely lady from Wooster, Ohio. She's a talented and innovative feltmaker who I've been blessed to have met through Etsy. Her shop name roughly translated means "flower wool" or "wool of flower" - this is very fitting as I have long admired her brightly colored, realistic flower pins, a staple of her diverse online shop. Recently she has branched out to include a some wonderful scarf and wrist cuff designs. You can see one of her corded cuffs in the main photo. It is a favorite of mine!

I highly recommend that you go browse her entire Etsy shop, lanadeflor.etsy.com, for inspiration. Oh, and don't forget to buy one of her very unique felted accessories too. What a great way to accent your Spring wardrobe!
