One of my inspirations

by Lynne of Cozy Cottage Creations

It occurred to me recently that one of my biggest inspirations is perhaps unlikely. It’s produce. Every time I go shopping, whether at the grocery store or the farmer’s market, I can’t wait to go home and reproduce what I’ve just bought before I slice it up or cook it for dinner. What is it about a luscious piece of fruit that makes me want to capture it in wool?


Food to me is like color. It’s essential like air. I suppose that makes sense, since we need food to live, but I’m not talking about just food to sustain us. I’m talking about food that’s vibrant, potent, and zesty. I love farmer’s markets and go as often as I can.

In my crazy youth in New York City, my favorite after-work activity was to wander around gourmet food stores. I could stay there for hours. Now my goal is to create enough felted produce to have my own little Felted Farmer’s Market!
