Upcoming Show

Our small Fiber Art group will be having a local show this February at our Coastal Branch Library. We are all pretty excited about it.

Here is one of my latest pieces:

THE GREAT MOREL

What is this you might ask?

No it isn't me... my last name is MORRELL

It is a GREAT MOREL mushroom. It is said to be the Prince of mushrooms. (Personally I think King or Queen might be a better title.) It is one of the best tasting mushrooms in the world. This week end I got to taste them. Had a friend and his wife drop by our house on their way home to Florida and he treated me to some. He actually hunts them in the woods in Ohio. They were delicious. If you ever have the chance to try one do so.

Here is a little history on them:
