A Millarville artists is not feeling sheepish about her talents.
Twenty-seven-year-old Bethany Harris has been drawing crowds at the Millarville Farmers’ Market for years with her felting kits, crafts and wall hangings, all made of wool from her family’s flock of Shetland sheep.
Most of the items boast the animals’ original colour of black, brown, grey and beige, although Harris hand-dyes some products. She also sells wool for knitting and spinning.
In addition to Harris’ selection of wool products, she also sells her landscape and livestock paints in acrylic and watercolour, from printed cards to canvas wall-hangings, as well as three children’s books that she illustrated.
Check out Harris’ collection at the Millarville Farmers’ Market, which runs Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Millarville Racetrack.
Oct. 12 is the final day of the Millarville Market, until the Christmas show in November. Stay tuned in Okotoks Western Wheel and OkotoksToday.ca for details.
