In this charming workshop we will be creating many different types of fiber charms out of felt, wool, silk, and fabric (and lots of stitching) to make our own unique fiber mobile or adorn a fun fiber charm necklace. We will make little houses, hearts, flowers, birds, bugs and animals to use on either one or both projects. Your mobile can have one to three layers and you should be able to create one or more fiber jewelry pieces. Bring some of your own favorite charms, milagros, and beads to incorporate into your fiber creations. You will graduate at the end of the day with a fun piece of charming fiber art to wear or hang in your home.
