In Kari's words: "I spent a bunch of years trying
to define myself and my art, trying to figure it all out.
Last year, I decided that I didn¹t need to be one
kind of artist- I needed to be as many artists as I am.
Which is many!" Enjoy Kari's fabulous artistry beyond
just Bossy's Feltoworks!

piles of wool, she dons her singer-songwriter hat and
serenades the island.

On
a good day at Bossy's, you'll find Amy, Kari and Mandy all
gathered around the kitchen table, accompanied by piles
of wool and cups of tea. Their four girls are playing upstairs,
or maybe out in the play yard with the two puppies, while
the two elder dogs snore under the table. Baby Lucy is sound
asleep in a sling on one of the mamas... whomever needs
some baby time the most. On warmer days things move outside,
and the soundtrack includes the "baaaaa's" of
Bossy and the others up in the sheep pasture, while the
chickens chime in down by the garden (and heaven help us
if the donkeys start braying!).
