Check out all the beautiful felted wearable’s by PenFelt by fiber artist LeBrie Rich. What great gifts these pretty items would make and the holidays are just around the corner. Everything PenFelt is designed and hand made in Portland, Oregon by me, LeBrie Rich. There is also a ETSY shop where LeBrie sells her PenFelt.LeBrie give details, over my lifetime I’ve worked in ceramics, paper, printmaking and mixed media. I love felt for it’s illustrious history of utilitarianism (Mongolians used it to make armor and cover their yurts as early as 600 BC) and its versatility in form and function.
I’ve felted everything from baby booties to life-sized Thanksgiving dinners. My wearable product lines include: felted ballies and candy hair clips, scarves, body wraps, bracelets, rings, custom footwear, headwear, and earrings.
Being a true colorist at heart, I hand dye all of my fiber with vibrant, long lasting acid dyes before felting.
I ship all orders with recycled shipping materials bought at the fabulous SCRAP: www.scrapaction.org
