felt additions

 

Last Sunday we, students,

received the fifth part of Fiona's online class

but I didn't do my "homework"  on that part yet.

 

When the computer was s l o w

I had plenty of time to do the work on part 4 :

felt additions.

I put some of the techniques in one piece

and called it

 

SPRING

 

 

I started with the "normal" sample square (25 x 25 cm)

 

and prepared all the little bits and pieces that I needed first

 

Then came the long and careful felting ...

 

It was a lot of work but I looooove those spikes !

Though I wasn't too pleased that one of the little balls

leaked dye to the green surface,

grrrrrrrrr 

a warning to make my own felted balls, instead of buying them !

(the green looks a bit muddy in this photo because

there was no day light at that moment)

There were also two dear ladies

who wanted to renew their encounter with felt :

one cushion and one hat were made

 

 

This is ALWAYS the best part of making a hat :

trying it on before fulling !!!

 

(a rare bird ... or Pinocchio ... ?)

 

 



Still a lot to be done

but time was up, so she took it home to finish

.....

The three of us had a wonderful day !
