I spent yesterday felting with the lovely ladies from Sonning (IFA region 5) and will be taking part in their exhibition on Sunday 2nd November. If you are in the area I would love to see you there. We are also looking for fellow felters to join us for a fun day of felting once per month; if this is of interest please let me know.
I am feeling rather pleased with what I managed to complete yesterday (there was a LOT of chat about the forthcoming exhibition which ate into my felting time 🙂 ). I have been wanting to make a felted top for a long time and finally managed it… and best of all, it actually fits!
I plan to wear this at the exhibition next month so if you want to see me modelling it you will have to come along! ;o)
I also managed to make a lattice scarf using the technique taught on Fiona Duthie’s surface design course. I plan to dye this later in the week but can’t decide between green / orange or blue / brown…
And finally a couple of samples from Fiona’s class…
The piece on the left is destined to become a brooch while the other 2 have felt cuff written all over them.
Looks like your felt making gathering was a success. Your samples are great too. Wish I was closer because I'd love to join the group 🙂

Beautiful work Teri. Oh that lace scarf is calling for a blue green. I can't wait to see your finished pieces. Good luck at the exhibition! Love the top!

Thanks Ruth, I would love for you to join us too, you will just have to move over the pond… 🙂

Thank you Marilyn. I'm afraid I dyed the scarf last night and went with green orange but there is quite a lot of cyan from the green so it has come out more blue-green-orange so hopefully you will still approve 🙂 I will post a pic later in the week.
