And now why I'm so late today :

I had a lovely, lovely day of felting

with my dear UK friend Jane !

And why a bit sad :

because Jane and her husband will be moving back to the UK

in a few weeks time 

:-(

Jane's first encounter with felting 

was at my house :

I gave a felting workshop for some friends ...

And after that :

Jane got hooked on felting !

Something new to express her creative urge.

She then took on-line classes

and went to different workshops 

with a lot of felting artists.

Today we tried some things she did earlier

and we talked a lot 

about all the different techniques

in felting.

Playing with bits and pieces of pre-felt,

pinning it down

A special way of wetting out the pice

The halfway through pieces :

there will be a lot of stitching when they're dry.

In the end we made one last piece together

in another colourway

We had such fun together !

THANKS  A  LOT,  JANE

I will miss you !

See you tomorrow with another felted jewel !
