I was teaching in Brooklyn in June 2005 and I had some free time between my teaching engagements. So for 4 days I was able to work in the studio of Linda LaBelle (of The Yarn Tree). It was great: no place I had to be, no jobs that absolutely had to be done, just a just a lovely air-conditioned studio, a pile of wool and me! Wow, paradise! I had been wanting to do a jungle themed piece for awhile. So this is the one I came up with. |
