UNUSUAL FABRICS TO FELT
What a super morning & so many feltees, old and new. Anne welcomed new members handing out green aprons here, there & everywhere.
Show & Tell commenced with the bags made at Gabi McGraths workshop last month. These were really quite pretty and with such intricate leather designs.
Norma (below) had some Foxford wool off-cuts which she had felted onto prefelts and sought inspiration from the group on how to continue to a finished item. These were lovely & looking forward to next ‘Show & Tell’.
Sandy(below), one of our newer members, attended a ‘Meet the Maker’ session with Helen during August craft month. This would make a gorgeous framed picture. We can see Sandy is already developing skills incorporating colour into her work. Well done.

Below Fiona shows her picture of bog plant. The soft white wool fibres really make this come alive & remind us of summer time. Great!

And now to our busy morning with Gail. Margaret is dabbing watery eyes in the second picture as Gail challenges us to think of using fibres other than wools, linens & silks to create some unique patterns and textures. We all know how strict Gail is!!

| Gorgeous results. It can be seen how such unusual fibres can be added to other projects. Well done everyone. |

| Margaret’s still wiping her eyes 🙁
There was a great afternoon’s ‘free felting’. Lots of us took the opportunity to start or complete various projects. Don’t forget to bring along to the next Show & Tell. Thank you Karen for making the tea even if Ann was so engrossed & didn’t remember to drink hers.
Also, huge congrats to Karen on a wonderful result in her studies. |
