Flowering Fibers and Second Stories
home page
Welcome to Flowering Fibers, the website of Ginny Huber
I am inspired by color, collage, fibers, fabric to create hand felted art pieces from recycled sari silks and wool wisps, nuno felted silk scarves and sculpted flowers. Connections with people from whom I source my materials and the way the fibers miraculously connect with each other are what makes doing this so satisfying. We made the video above for the Soulumination Artists' Sale in Dec. 2011.
Here's a link to another (2 minute) video we showed as a demo of the nuno/wet felting process when I was featured artist at Manya Vee Selects in Edmonds, WA in Oct, 2011

As one of 35 local artists, I brought nuno mosaic felted wall art inspired by and using recycled sari silks from India-perfect also for altar cloths/ nativity scenes/displaying special treasures/wall hangings/table runners/or as a focal piece for a special garment or decorative pillow. 25% of the sale of items I sold there (the mosaic panels and felted flowers) was donated to the organization. Stay tuned for more info about the December 2012 Artists' Sale.
I am currently making available many "Second Stories" (the felted art pieces like these -wall hangings, altar cloths, table runners...) through this web site's Shop page and from my home studio. You can contact me here to see them in person.
