Long Handle Dipping Gourds With Wool Applique...

Long Handle Dipping Gourds and Wool Applique - Three Sheep Studio Blog Post

Today is overflowing with warm sunshine
and cool breezes... just like a summertime day.
In fact, in the days coming, we are expected 
to get into the high 80's.

or any other chemical)

Out came the wool,
a snip here, a stitch there...

Hoot, hoot...
a wooly owl and a full moon.

A hand torn strip of
 hand dyed wool, tops each of these
long handle Dipper Gourds.
(I placed a small wire loop at the top of each,
for conveniently hanging.)
Each measures just a tad over 2 foot.

These Dipper Gourds will be at the 
19th Annual Artisans' Porchwalk in Lititz
on September 29 and 30. 
Approximately 40 Juried Artists and Craftsmen,
sprinkled throughout 
the Historic small town of Lititz !

Enjoy this beautiful day...
