busy felting

Apart from some minor internet problems

(which are  -more or less-  solved now)

I've been busy felting

not to loose my touch with my newly learned "Judit"-skills !

I have my notes and some pictures

.....

but, I need to practice too !

First I finished the red pendant,

made a necklace out of it : "fire"

Because it was fun, I dicided to start with some embroidery

(also took it with me on my Saturday Stitch'nBitch tour)

But,

in order to finish it properly, 

it was on the wet table again ...

(well hadn't thought of thát before ...)

However, I found the perfect solution :

a plastic bag !

So I could easily finish it off now.

Next was felting the little bag

that will be part of a belt.

Still a lot to be done, but this bit is almost finished.

Then I had another idea, when I was thinking about the necklace I called "fire"

Wouldn't it be nice to make "earth", "water" and "air" too ??

Here is "earth" in the making with a fixed cord, and the pendant.

Finished "earth" 

(but when it's dry I need to start with the embroidery)

Today I did the last bits on the ring that was already nearly finished when

the weekend with Judit was over.

(maybe a bit posh, but I love the old, old button that was in my stash

from times when I went to Austria with my parents)

So, I made a brooch to go with it 

(with the same colours : orange red and magenta

but the picture isn't quite right)

The last thing I want to show is the lovely page I got

from my Challenge - partner Cathrina (UK)

front ...

and back

It was so much fun to see some bits I sent her during the Challenge

were in this piece  ;-)

And this crocheted "coffee pot" filled with flowers

was my gift for her.

(Ahhhh we're just waiting what Sara has in store for us again)
