Felting worksop no.1

Felting workshop number one! A success!

I was very blessed to have a wonderful group of eager learners and creative types.

We first made a sheet of pre-felt all together,

then cut it up to felt onto individual scarves etc.

There were lots of laughs and

everyone made something unique and beautiful.

I still find it amazing how different everyones pieces are.

We had scarves, skirt panels and other lovely pieces.

To my wonderful students , I was a little nervous but I feel it was a roaring success.

my heartFELT thanks to you all

Festivals, Felting and Freedom

I'm back, its been a while! my cmaera software is back on the computer and finally I can post again. Yay! Its so nice to see what everyone has been up to.

I am having a stall over Australia day weekend at the Rainbow Serpent Festival so have been busy trying to come up with  some new designs.

I am going away for five days which is the longest I have been away from my kiddies, so there may be some tears.

On the other  hand I will be feeling so footloose and fancy free not having all that responsibilty!

I came up with the idea for a felted overskirt which also has a felt pouch attached, perfect for festival and dancing when you dont want to carry a bag.

Here are some images of the felt pieces dryinig on the line.

I will post a pic  tommorrow of the finished product :)

FELT POUCHES

I was fortunate to have saturday off work, and got to go out and play in my garage with wool!
I had a fabulous time creating these little felt purses/pouches and then decoating with stitch and vintage buttons. Thanks to the lovely starashan I am now able to do buttonhole on my machine.
These purses will be in the shop sometime next week :) xx
