Having had a gorgeous time last monday, we were really excited to go back & have another go at felt making. This week we embellished last week's pieces as you can see below:
I embroidered beads onto my flower brooch & a few flower centre beads onto my felt panel & you can just see (it looks like I photographed this in the dark!) I stitched some detail into the clouds & over the sari silk thread.
Emily has as you can see needle felted detail into her tree so that the trunk has texture & the leafy top really stands out!
The second half of the day was taken up by designing & making our final pieces using all the techniques we'd learned over the two days. This is mine an abstract tropical flower panel which I'm going to embroider one day very soon when I have time (I'm very proud of it!)
& Emily did her take on a Mad Hatter's Tea Party with tulips coming out of his top hat & a tea cup on a table cloth. It's all felted together & just waiting for some embellishment.
I forsee lots more felting in my future & we both say a huge thanks to our Lovely Paula for being a fab tutor & the Community Learning Patnership for being a great organisation & running such inspired courses!
