mushroomscapes…

My interest and collection of mushrooms have been growing exponentially this year… just like a mushroom!

This picture here is the first signs that my Lion’s Mane Mushroom Patch is growing. It’s one of several mushroom kits I just bought from Fungi Perfecti). It’s sooo amazing and apparently delicious, though I won’t be able to harvest the mushrooms for another 7-10 days. Still the rate of it’s growth is so fast. You can clearly see a difference everyday. Sometimes even in the same day you can see how much larger it gets.

It’s like an experiment you used to do as a kid for school, only way yummier.

mushroom hunting…

I’ve finally gotten around to taking pictures of what I’ve been making. Lately the majority of it has been needle felted creatures. Sculpting with wool is very satisfying for me and I really love the texture it gives a piece.

For some time now i’ve been making a variety of mushrooms. Why little mushroom characters? Maybe just cause i love mushrooms. Their variety, the many shapes and colors that they come in. Oh and i also love eating them!

I think these guys are so adorable. It takes me anywhere from an hour to three hours to make depending on the mushroom. Each one is different and has a very distinct personality. I hope to have a few ready by Christmas time to sell at my etsy shop. Hope you think these are as cute as I do.
