face

Blogging has slowed down a bit,
mostly because of the horribly  s l o w  computer,
but life and creating things goes on as normal 

I did finish the lovely lace shawlette of that fiery wool,

      I finished one sock  .........  and started another pair

ànd  I enjoyed the first two lessons of my felting class.

Last weekend was the start of the second week 
Fiona Duthie

And let me tell you this :
if you're a felter, and want to have some real fun 
with old and new techniques,
presented in a very thorough, good documented class ...
join Fiona 
for the next run of this SDO class !!!

(I think the next time starts right after summer,
keep an eye on her blog for that,
it's in my sidebar)

One of the techniques appealed to me right away,
and because I also had to make something 
for my new felting-exchange, the connection was made.
The theme for my first "exchange" month was
face(s) 

Here is the postcard size face for Caroline

There were two layers, with resits,
then cut open at the desired places and continue felting.
I'm sure I'll use this technique some more in the future !

Although winter still holds a lot of places in a firm grip ...


spring is definately on it's way !
(sorry, for all of those who are still "covered" in snow)
