A busy week making felted merino wool 'pods'
decorated with silk threads,
handy little bowls for putting trinkets in or just to admire.

This is a scarf/wrap
, technically challenging as each flower is visible
from each side, differing colours on each side,
these are then linked by
very fine criss-crossing of fibres before felting.
A technique known as fine
felt. The result is a very light weight but very
cosy wrap, these I make in
various colour ways. They are a labour of love as
they can take three to
four days to construct and finish.
This is a close-up
of another wrap made in the same way as the blue one I
talked about previously.
This is a necklace
and earing set I was commissioned to make for a ladies
wedding day, unusual but she just loved them.
A change of media
today I turned my hand to my other passion that of water
colour painting.
These little friendly
monsters were inspired by a birthday card I saw at
my grandsons, so I made him one and some little
friends full of character to
sell. They are made from surplus Polar Fleece and
have child friendly eyes,
it turns out that adults are attracted to them and
buy them for themselves.
Here you will see a
collection of my little baby 'pixie' booties which are
felted over a template making the two feet at the
same time then separating
them part way through the felting process.
