The Gnome Brothers were very unhappy when their sisters got the first toile cushions, so they were delighted when I finished theirs yesterday!
Yesterday afternoon, I decided to have a proper go at wet felting, so I got out my book and assembled all the ingredients
Usually, ofcourse, I would show you photos of all the stages ..... but my hands were wet and soapy all the time! When I have another attempt I'll have to make sure that Malcolm is available to take the photos. After much rubbing and rolling, this is what I produced
When I did finally dry my hands, I took this photo to let you see who was keeping me company in the kitchen - a very young-looking George Clooney!
When I took my little piece of felt out to the studio this afternoon, I had a play using some bits I had felted some weeks ago ...... I produced this flower, with the 'wrong' side on show
I actually cheated a bit - I held the flower in place on the back with one of those plastic clips that hold new shirts on the card packaging!
Yesterday morning we went for a walk - come back tomorrow and I'll tell you more about this building we found hidden in the woods!
