Unwool: a Vegan Giveaway!

In the process of test-driving my latest find, a decidedly-wooly, vegan alternative to wool felt, I made up a little-pink-house hoop. Right now, I have only a limited palette, having ordered just six colors, so the piece is a bit one-note (well, six-note!).
All that being said, I'd be glad to send it out into the world. If you're interested in getting a spot o' pinkhousiness in the mail, leave a comment on this post, and I'll close 'em up on Tuesday at midnight and select a winner all random-like.

(Please excuse the white fuzzy nonsense that's hitchhiking on the bottom left leaf in the photo. I will de-string the thing before shipping. ;-))

Super cute! I love your work! Although I still have to hang up the other hoop that I bought...it is a Christmas present to myself that is sitting in my husband's closet...because I have the unflattering personality trait of being all controlling like that.

Turtle said...

how wonderful! I adore felt but have yet to do too much playing with it, simply amazing the progresss it has made in the last 40 years! lol. Being a vegan myself this i think would look fabulous in our "poor man's second home cause our daughters in college" rv at the river property where we spend 2-4 days a week (luckily hubbys job gives him good time off!) gorgeous job!

Carol Browne said...

Unwool? Amazing! This little pink house would fit in just fine on our wall.

As an aside - I love your bio...I hope I can be an artist one day, too. :-)

World of Julie said...

It would totally not be fair of me to get this, because you told me about "Appetite for Reduction" and so now I owe you something. But! But! Well, I WANT it. I love it. Me Me Me! Oh, wait, I gave you the word "shirting." I'll make up another good verb/gerund if I win this.
