Dana Barnes felt rugs



I read this article a couple of months ago and lost it and just came across it gain i love this rich colors and texture of these rugs which are so simple but are very tough and time consuming to make. Something would be so fun to try if i had an old washing machine. The loft apartment is also just a dream....

Last Thursday i went to this Gallery opening at The artist alley on mission st San Fransisco opening. This artist takes photos zooms in selects and area then works with pastels/pencil and oil on top to create these abstract portraits. Interesting. We also won the raffle so have an original now hanging in our living room!
