Just What Is Fiber Art?

FIBER ART
Just What Is That?

All these items are made from raw silk and wool fibers.
Then artist Sylvia takes the raw fibers and washes them together, squishes out the water and as they dry, the fibers bond together as a new material is formed in a process known as felting.
Next she hand dyes the new material,
and then she begins forming it into her beautiful fashion items.

right now.  

Carrollton, KY is lucky to have Sylvia Brestels art as she is the only one creating such uniquely beautiful items such as these.  She is in other galleries in Louisville as well as museums. 

Art is not mass produced and is created with love and inspiration.
One of the great things about having original art, whatever the medium, 
is you always feel that love whenever you look at, feel or wear the art.
You always know you have a one of a kind item.

Thanks for stopping in to that little green gallery
in Carrollton, KY.
