The past couple weeks included some commissioned work. The project came to me through word of mouth which was really inspiring. Ok so it was one of Henry’s coworkers, 2 degrees is still 2 degrees of separation, right!? This commission was for a grouping of mushrooms to put in a basket as if they were freshly foraged (and cleaned). With the request for two specific kinds, Botelus Edulis and Agaricus, I made this bunch of fungi:

***I’m happy to report that even after spending hours making mushrooms from felt their edible form isn’t any more appealing to me.

Curtis Steiner’s shop Souvenir never fails to present the most serene and beautiful, well, I want to say window displays but actually, everything about his store is just heavenly. There is a delicate touch, a balance of vintage, antique, new and unique that is absolute perfection.
Whew! I get lightheaded just thinking about this cute little shop in Ballard. If you are able, go to there, you will be awe stricken.
