Comments on: FAST Member Interview- Melisa of Alba Ranch http://www.etsyfast.com/blog/2009/08/14/fast-member-interview-melisa-of-alba-ranch/ A blog about the Etsy Fiber Arts Street Team Wed, 18 Nov 2009 02:33:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Melisa Morrison http://www.etsyfast.com/blog/2009/08/14/fast-member-interview-melisa-of-alba-ranch/comment-page-1/#comment-439 Melisa Morrison Wed, 18 Nov 2009 02:33:28 +0000 http://www.etsyfast.com/blog/?p=321#comment-439 I am so far behind the times. wow I hadn't even noticed that there were comments or a place to put comments at the end of the interviews. duh!! haha been exhausted in the last few months, only just starting to feel perhaps like I might be getting back to being me again after over a year of feeling like crap. I have gotten rid of a lot of the animals. Taken on a few angora bunnies. love the bunnies, got rid of all the fibre goats, including Sammi :-( and figured out I think today that I am allergic to mohair. I have hated spinning it and working with it, and I have recently made some scarves that are gorgeous..trying to make one for me to wear for advertisement and every time I make it, I go eck! and rip it off my neck as I can't wear it. they all had SOME mohair in in them. I finally finished a merino scarf this week after several days of weaving and it is fine. so hoping my bunnies will also be ok with me. it is a challenge raising the animals and doing my fibre art..hence I am cutting down my animals so much that I might soon have almost none, but you will get to see more and more of my art work IN my shop instead of just rovings or raw fleece.

What a challenge and enterprise raising the sheep yourself and spinning your own fibers. You sound like a person I would love to spend some time with, learning from you. All our lives are so different, yet we meet in fiber, in our art. Very interesting interview. What a challenge and enterprise raising the sheep yourself and spinning your own fibers.
