No, the sheep have not escaped and caused a scene! (although the thought of being on the runway has caused some new ideas with the sheep- not all of them good-gotta watch the keys to vehicles!) Last fall, designer Kristina Phelps purchased natural colored roving from our Sophie, Louis and a few others.
She wove the roving onto a dress form, and spent HOURS hand felting the roving perfectly in place....
She designed this dress exclusively for a large show in Texas- that included hundreds of entries from other designers. Her dress was chosen to be included in the runway modelling - only a few out of the hundreds were chosen!
So there you have it- a new place for the sheep- Sheep on the Runway! tee hee! Thank you Kristina for sharing your success and beautiful fiber art!Updates on the site Mon/Tues, hoping for an update to Etsy this weekend too, HOWEVER, the sheep are tired out- from watching US stack hay in the barn.... go figure!
(PS- Thank you for all your kind words Graham from England! They mean the world to us and hope you will stop in again- or any questions I am happy to answer- just email!!)

That's brilliant!! I love it. It may not hit Macy's (like I'm one who'd know...) but if things fall on hard times, we know whose farm to raid for winter clothes!
XOXO
Isn't that fun? I don't always get to see projects like this using our fiber- I never saved the picture I got from a costume designer in Milwaukee- an ice princess costume with our white roving- it was spectacular! I can live vicariously through them right? ;0)
I am so impressed with your sophisticated sheep. Better watch them or they may run off to Paris or Milan.
Hi Monte! The only way you would pry those sheep THAT far is with a gigantic promise of never ending FRUIT LOOPS!!!! tee hee!
