As promised, I have some images of the annual Michigan Fiber Festival at Allegan -- though, because I'm the photographer, they're not exactly elegant. It's a wonderful event -- one of the best middle-sized fiber expos in the nation -- though, lately, I confess that I think the very best fiber festivals are the smallest ones, as with the wee gaggle of vendors at Sandhill Crane Winery a few weeks ago. Has to do with table costs (lower!), and so the newest artisans can actually afford to attend, often for the first time -- so I get to see them at the outset, before they've actually gone big-time. I also get to follow them over time to see if and how they develop!
But Allegan is a good, good show.....Here are some indoor and outdoor scenes:
...and here is Lois about to SIN ......
.... and here is HUMPHREY the Camel (I have never been this up-close-and-personal with a camel!
....and, finally, here are the lovely people from Mohair in Motion, from whom I bought oodles of holiday-ready mohair with glitz -- shawls, shawls, shawls!!!!
More sometime soon.....time to get to work! svb
