I have been finally getting round to making felt again and it is lovely! I had forgotten how much I enjoy it. It takes me two hours to make two pieces but I really enjoy creating the blends and deciding what colours I need to use. I have reserved a table at a craft fair in November, so that has given me the push I need to start making again. In the whole of last year, I think I made two pieces in total, so I am doing much better this year. The stripy pieces are destined for the craft fair, but you'll have to wait until then to see what I make them into. I am also going to make some other coloured pieces - pink and a pastel green and whatever else takes my fancy.
I now need to replenish my stock of white wool for the base pieces...it's a good job I have just been paid!
How exciting, your felt really is feltabulous xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cheryl, that's very kind of you to say so. I am really enjoying making felt again and have plans to make lots more. I like to use my photos for inspiration so need to start looking through them again.

I love the colours in your felt. I still have the felt heart that you gave me in a swap. It was on my Christmas tree!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jille. The colours have all been very specifically chosen for my current project. I really enjoy blending the colours too. It's lovely to hear you still have the felt heart and that it was on your tree - felt is such a wonderful textile and it should outlive me (providing any moths don't get to it first!).

What a beautiful rainbow collection!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amy. There is something very cheering about a burst of colour, isn't there? (Especially on dull, grey winter days).
