Hello Winter Birds. Spring is coming and our official reOPEN date is April 6th. The Brasstown Farmers market should start back up around that same time- every Wednesday from 9-1. It'll be nice to see Brasstown back up and perking again. Also Katrina Stone and I are planning a felting class on April 1st & 2nd at The Brasstown Community Center classroom. Here's a flyer with most of the details about that. See you all soon

So much to be thankful for! We will be closed this week for Thanksgiving and reOPEN on Friday 10-4 and Saturday 10-4 Happy Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

My apologies to anyone who has tried to reach me at the gallery lately- my phone and wifi are both down. I have decided to use this opportunity to change carriers- only to find out my new carrier is 6-8 weeks out on their work orders- UGHHH Hopefully they will get me back up and running again soon. And to the sweet man who messaged me about the black/white shawl for his girlfriend-sorry it has sold already. :( I tried to find your message on FB and it had "P**F" disappeared. Happy and beautiful FALL to you all and thank you for your patience

Staying home today- resting. YES this

September is a slow month in Brasstown- (vacationers are leaving and kids back to school etc.)- so I am going to take a little extra time off to rest and get ready for a busy Fall. I will be open on Wednesdays and Saturdays only for the month of September. At the beginning of October I will go back to my regular hours :)

It worked! The mosses felted in just beautifully-I thought the sponge moss might disintegrate during the rough felting process..but it didn't. Nature is always surprising me in the most amazing ways.

Silva Gallery is 14 years old TODAY!!!

Going to try felting some natural mosses in with my wool and silk on this next wall hanging. Maybe stitch some felt river rocks on afterwards...and some feathers...and maybe some twigs? Like a morning walk through a beautiful forest. I hear you birds!
