I am not sure when I became fascinated with circles. I remember having a polka dotted jacket in eighth grade. I once was dressed at Halloween as “Dot Polka” wearing a read and black polka dotted dress and painted the continuation of the dots on my arms, legs and face. No photo,before cell phones. In college as an art student I loved the colors and shapes of Kandinsky. I still do. My Pinterest account will attest to that! Small circles or dots have found their way, as a design on many of the folk art items my husband and I create. So, it is not really a surprise that I like circles in my retirement as I create fabric art.

Below are two circle inspired designs showing the beginning and completed mate. I started out with wool, cotton, yarn, wool roving and of course fused them together with Corrinne’s fabulous felting machine. Then I added hand worked material such as embroidery, buttons and extra fabric.
