Making Felted Soaps!

Felted_soapsFiber artists Prisiclla Eppinger and Vikki Morain experimented with making their own wool felt over Spring Break and came up with some amazing results...

You probably have never thought about felted wool soaps, but they are a functional as well whimsical addition to any sink!

Below are a few photos of the process, but feel free to stop in the Blue Frog to touch and feel the final results!  Let us know if you would be interested in taking this as a class.

Wine & Women

and Painter, Helen Caples
are pictured at the Wine
and Women event
held at
the Summerset Winery in
Indianola on Saturday,
April 5, 2008. 

Helen Kaples, Vikki Morain,
Myrna Morris, Priscilla
Eppinger and Donna Trudell
set up two tables with

artwork representing many, if not all, of our Blue Frog Artists. 
There was a luncheon and style show (Cold Water Creek) and an
opportunity to browse, shop and network with other businesses
in the area. 

Our water color artists contributed works that were cut into
beautiful bookmarks with the Blue Frog logo and contact information
on the back.  These were put in the goody bags each guest received. 

We were proud to represent the Blue Frog Arts artists to over 125
women who attended the $40 a plate event.  Great public relations
for the Blue Frog and for Lamoni!
