Haitian Ada & Olympics

Haitian Ada, given to E as a birthday present...Designed by Alan Dart as a fund raiser for Haiti earthquake relief. Donation made to the American Refugee Committee which is helping refugees on the ground in Haiti.

"Ada is a Hispaniolan solenenodon, a shrew-like creature that is unique to Haiti and the Dominican Republic, and is wearing a dress inspired by the Haitian national flag."

Hat: based on the US Olympic team's opening ceremonies hat but this one is a stocking cap.

Resist dyed felt

Here are some photos of the one of the resist-dyed felt that I dyed after being inspired by taking a class with Chad Alice Hagen. My friend has a dye studio set up and she and I spent a day and each made two long scarves. This is one of them. I sold it recently. It is more jewel-toned than the photos show.
