sweet dreams ...

Today I finished my felting-exchange piece 

for this month.

It is for Caroline, one of the new friends I made 

on this wonderful workshop

with Sara Lechner

(almost a year ago now)

Her theme for the exchange is :

DREAMS 

I tried some technique a friend explaned to me

to get some ripples on the surface. 

As a matter of fact, I did two pieces

because I wasn't satisfied with the first one :

too big 

and the colours were a bit messy.

So I made a fresh start yesterday.

... work in progress ...

The ripples were not exactly as I wanted them

but this technique is still new to me 

so :

practice makes perfect

;-)

Then today came the rest of the fun : 

stitching !

Using  various variegated colours Cotton Perlé

and the new Rayon thread from Emma's

I called it "sweet dreams"

I put it in the mail this afternoon and

because I had to mail Caroline about something 

I told her not to look here if she didn't want to spoil the surprise.
