GIVE AWAY

Hi Peeps,

I want to make

something

lovely with my own two very

creative hands

for

you....

Here's the deal:

I will make somethinng special for the first 5 people to comment on this blog.

If you would like to copy and paste and do the same on yours, go for it!

I am willing to post overseas (I am

in Australia, )

1. I make no

guarantees

that you will like what

I make. (but I know you will!)

2. What I create will be just for you, with love.

3. It’ll be done this year (2009).

4. I will not give you any clue what it’s going to be. It will be something made in the real world and not something cyber. It may be weird or beautiful.

Or it may be monstrous and annoying. Heck, I might bake something for you and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that’s for sure!

5. I reserve the right to do something strange.

6. In return, all you need to do is post this text on your blog and make 5 things for the first 5 to respond to your blog post.

7. Send your mailing address - after I contact you.

Welcome to everyone. I will however, make an effort to do something that you like based on what I see on your blog, BUT there are no guarantees.
So that's that!!
Brilliant, I'm excited - who's on board???

peace and love to you x x x x

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

Nuno Felted scarves

On sunny days I like to head outside with one, or both children and make some felt.

Here is my beautiful kai playing with some wooltops and 'helping' with the felting.

I had some thrifted scarves and some tissue silk as a base and then I used white merino wooltops to felt on top.

Nuno felting fab, i love the fineness you can achieve

Have a lovely week x x

Kiddies Handprinted Scarves

I made a new little paper cut stencil of three birds to print onto these kids

scarves which I made from scraps.

I like the way the print looks on this vintage fabric with the little wings.

Before and After

BEFORE



and

AFTER

I hope you enjoy looking at this transformation as much as I enjoyed cutting it up and reclaiming it...

I am keeping this one for myself :)

Today we have have been graced with a rainbow and then a fierce hail storm, I love days like these.....

Nuno Felting

This is my first 'proper' attempt at Nuno felting.

For those of you who dont know 'Nuno felting' is felting onto very fine silk (or other fine natural fabric)

I made a basic poncho/ shawl shaped resist and went from there.

I am pretty happy with this first attempt.

I am loving working with all these lovely autumn colours at the moment, bliss..... x

Recycled Jumpers take two

I wish I had taken a 'before' photo of this jumper!

It was a yellow woolen turtle neck and in my opinion rather ugly!

I cut, felted and dyed it before adding the tabs,pockets and decorative stitch.

It now has a new life as a little girls felted jacket.

One of a kind and much nicer to look at than it was before xx
