Prepping for the winter season during the heat of summer.  

As the sheering season winds down, I'm in a rush to get what I need at the best prices. When I first started out playing with fiber in a serious way I was paying top dollar and buying by the ounce. It took me less than a month to figure out that I was going to need a better source for fiber if I was going to be serious about entertaining this passion. 

When I was making my first doll I knew that I was going to do it for the open market. I need to on some level. The same is true with spinning yarn, rope, and thread. I've been around livestock and know that raising them is not my thing; plus, where would the good creative time come from if my focus was on a fiber herd. [?] Finding good sources in this field is not like when I worked as a painter and could buy premium quality supplies almost anywhere for about the same amount of monies. Sources are guarded. Talk is minimal. I have finally found a local resource for whole fleeces that rocks. What I pay for a fleece now is less than what I was paying for an ounce of fiber in the beginning, and guess what... I ain't sharin' my sources. 

This will be the best winter yet and it's not even fall. 

I hope that the signs in your life all point you towards the best deals with the highest quality.

    Welcome to my bizarre.
    Poppets, needlework, fiber, wood, and paper hold my attention.
    All my creations are my own. I find beauty in dangerous places -- enchanted slant, arcane lore and anomalies.

    I've been sharing photos on Pinterest:
