Welcome back to the wonderful world of Fiber Arts Friday!
This week I’d like to take the time to introduce you to my sister-in-law Kathleen Lang Klik, who is a very talented photographer and jewelry designer. You might remember me mentioning her a while back in a post about felting beads with alpaca. Well, as it turns out Kathy took her new found knowledge of bead felting and turned it into a beautiful work of jewelry art. The necklace she created from those alpaca beads was recently featured in the magazine Bead Trends.

Of course I’m very proud that she chose to entitle the piece “Dutch Hollow” in honor of the alpacas who supplied the fiber for her beads. Kathleen has such a great eye for the art of jewelry making and I really enjoyed the textures, shapes and sizes she chose for this piece.

I hope her work and the attention it is getting inspires more artists to look to alpaca fiber beyond its traditional uses.
