Friday Findings: Fun and Funky Fibers

This week, you can't accuse me of trying to pull the wool over your eyes. Although, I might be guilty of trying to add some wool to your wardrobes! I'm a firm believer that artist-made jewelry is always a great way to add some spunk and sophistication to your wardrobe. However, to really liven things up and make a bold fashion statement, look no further than jewelry inspired by the fiber arts.

This week's Friday Findings collection is surprisingly original. It's a showcase of fun and fashionable jewelry pieces that use a blend of fiber techniques such as sewing, quilting, crocheting and felting. So without further ado, take a look at these funky fiber art designs and let me know what you think!

I love this delicate, yet dramatic, knitted necklace in pale Dusty Pink. It's about 18" in length and completely hand-knit from 100% felted wool. The Dusty Pink Felted Tiers Necklace is perfect for any season and features a contrasting white vintage button closure. It's also available in a variety of custom colors from littlepurls in Sacramento, CA.

One of my favorite color combinations is bright red and blue, and I haven't seen many blue and reds that are cuter than this Fuzzy Flower Ring made of 100% wool.
