Sheep to Shawl, 2nd 5 minute skirt and Camera Bag

Watching the sheep being sheared.

Yesterday we went to a Sheep to Shawl event at a local farm. Well, hour and a half drive local. It was neat. They showed the whole process of wool production from the sheep to the, well, shawl. Watching the guy shear was the neatest thing. They also had other local artisans - a lady doing pottery on a wheel, a bee apiary with bees in a display, a woodworker, a man weaving chair seats plus a bunch of ladies spinning/knitting in 1800s dress.

I didn't get all that many pictures, because it was crowded as hell, but I will share a few. More at flickr.

( this is going to be OMG picture heavy. )
