A few weeks ago we took the yurt to 'Seedy Sunday', an annual event in Brighton where people swap seeds, attend talks on all manor of gardening issues and the environment and buy lots of interesting garden type things. The yurt project attracted a great deal of attention and lots of people helped out needle felting motifs for the felted panel. I made a contact there with the 'Sussex Prairie Garden' people who would like me to run some felting workshops this year using wool from their flock of Shetland sheep...very excited!!! Watch this space.

Last week I helped a friend make this wet felted hanging for her cottage in ireland. It's the view from her window over the bay. It's 'nuno felted' onto cotton muslin. We laid down and felted the area of sky, sea, land on one day and needle felted the detail and textures on another day. It's approx 4 foot high and 2 and half foot wide. It's probably the largest piece of felt that I've helped make so far. I'll be great to see it framed! |
