mandala and the embellisher pieces

Ahhhhhhhhh

13 - 11 - 13

it was such a fun date yesterday

That was supposed to be the name of the post 

.....

when our PC started to act really funny :

it took ages to open, to load sites and pictures,

and was altogether impossible to get a post done.

So here is yesterday's mandala

This year's theme are the Celtic celebrations

We started in September with

Imbolc which is the beginning of the year.

But that felt so akward (it being nearly autumn)

that we switched for the second and third meeting 

to a subject more appropriate to the season,

so yesterday was Samhain.

I just realized that I didn't post

the other two

Imbolc                                            Mabon

Yesterday I was also working 

on the needle felted "Embellischer pieces"

(ahhh : I really don't know whát to call them)

The mermaid was this far when I left for the mandala group

(doing French knots on the star fish)

And here is the final result today

hand dyed (not by me) craft felt for the cut-out, fabric, tule

magic thread and four very old mother of pearl beads

blue and white pre felt of previous projects

little circle of mint silk (old blouse)

more glas beads

and the embellisher felted blue / green

mounted on a painted canvas 

(size  20 x 20 cm)
