When I refer to mixed media, it means that currently I use paint, colored wire and other forms of surface design that are incorporated in the hand-dyed wool that make up my fiber art. I have not added more exotic materials (yet), but in the future, I envision using new forms of media to enhance my pieces. Stay tuned for more clues as they develop!The Winter 2010 issue of the Surface Design Journal is all about Felt. As a member of the Surface Design Association, I have found a great resource that allows me to explore many ways to augment my felt making and exchange ideas with others about how to make an old art into new traditions. I encourage other felt makers or creators of abstract wall art to consider joining the SDA or contact me for networking possibilities.

Hi - I just found your blog and I love your work. I also enjoy doing surface design on handmade felt and have been experimenting with different techniques. I had considered joining the SDA and even went to their website and sent an e-mail to the local chapter person for Montana. Received no reply. So I haven't gotten any further than that. Glad to know that other felters are involved. The winter issue looks very interesting. So perhaps I'll try again. I was looking for a local group to participate in and I'm not sure how active they are.
