felting day

Yesterday we had a lovely felting day with friends.

They did some felting here before

and one of them is surely bitten by the felting bug !

Felting a bag is a lot of work

so we started early

after coffee and applepie of course.

( Man had a bit of a flu so he retired upstairs,

free from chattering ladies )

The friend brought wonderful Sandra Meech-like

photos for inspiration taken by her husband.

then she picked the colours

and we used a template I made for a bag some time ago

that way she could see how big it would end up.

the a-symmetric flap fitted the design of the photo perfectly

.... with a little help from my friends ....

At four two very satisfied friends went home again

 At home : some rinsing

and then drying, stuffed with towels

And I ?

today I felted a bag too

( and went on with my February felt-stitching )
