Iv finished my first sample for my Creative Textiles Techniques course. My theme is autumn woodland. It's a bowl, come candle holder, come vase holder......... not decided!!



Wet felted leaves and embroidered, with soluble fabric see through leaves as skeleton leaves. Im quite cuffed with it.

Mums Birthday Pressie

Thought you would like to see what i made for my Mum for her birthday.

Merino wool with Silk.



She was really delighted with it. I was quite chuffed too!!

What iv been up to!

Just a quick post to show you what iv been doing.

This is a bag that I made when I first started felting. I cant say that I liked it, so I experimented by putting it in the washing machine. It was rather big, but its now shrunk down to a petite, cute size. Ideal for a little girl and I'm quite fond of it now!



Iv put together some Needle Felting Geode Kits for my stall. Iv had quite a few people asking me if I did kits, so ill see how these go.



Two more art fronted books.

Sun


and Oak Leaf



New felted soaps. I had quite a few small pieces of my varigated coloured wool left, so I felted the soap with it.



Well I'm off to make a flower brooch for my mums birthday and and pack the car for a fair tomorrow for Oxjam. Bye for now.............

Pressy for my friends new home

Iv felted and embroidered this picture for my friend. Iv called it sun and sky. Hope she likes it.



I used wool, silk, silk velvet, organza and hand dyed cotton.
The picture doesnt do it justice!!
