Althea Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 This little 5 minute piece is kind of cute...shows many of my pieces and some of the items that inspired them. It also shows the Scuba Cardigan as I was knitting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wm. R. Robertson Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Wonderful! I think it is fantastic when professional film producers get a hold of the work of professional miniature artist it's and create such videos. Think of the nearly 7 billion people on this planet, how many could do this type of knitting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElgaKoster Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Seeing your knitted pieces animated is really cool, I have seen the interview they did on your piece for the movie Coraline, I thought it was great that they used a real piece from a miniature artist for the movie...I still need to see the movie.

WeekendMiniaturist Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Althea, I am amazed by your work. I don't know if I'll ever knit in miniature on the equivalent of piano wires, but it took a real life class so I could just purl! I am amazed that you knit with silk thread; it isn't the least bit springy, and have no idea how anyone who knits with silk thread can keep from splitting that silk with a needle the circumference of a piano wire. As a person who plays with silk floss, and silk thread, all the time for PP Projects, the knitters leave me speechless! I'm glad to see you knitting again. I loved seeing your sweaters at the Maysville Museum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Ronan Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 You work and designs are beautiful. I have been lucky enough to see some of your things in person. They are astonishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Althea Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Thank you all! Yes, Silk is tricky because it has very little give, as you say, but the finished pieces hang so beautifully--nothing compares to the finished product! I have made a HUGE decision to get back into my art full time--I am putting the respiratory therapy hat away for now so that I can focus on being a creative person again--my soul has been craving it so I have decided to feed it what it wants---THREAD! I hope to be doing shows and teaching again soon :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is your work just jaw dropping.... i mean, even PP, who know the material, are blown away you are able to create such gorgeous garments. On top of that it's very nice to see and hear you talk about your passion! Thank you for sharing this video! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
