Preparing for the Fairs

This June I've mostly been preparing for the two craft fairs I have coming up; Fowlmere Craft Fayre (Hertfordshire) next Sunday 7th July, & Berwick Arts & Crafts Festival (Northumberland) at the end of July.

A Fourth Pod-Bowl:

A Second Small Flower Bowl:

And many new necklaces, bracelets & a few purses:

There is still a ton of stuff still to do to get prepared, but all the felting, at least for next Sunday, is done! Now I'm off to buy tissue paper & bags; just incase someone actually wants to buy something from me! ;)

Another purse & A spring scarf

Another purse in Mustard, still in need of a button being attached...

Here are some images of the spring scarf in progress... 

And this scarf was made during a IFA meeting/workshop with the guidance of felter Sue Johnson...

Using a nuno felt technique with an open weave muslin 

rather than silk

     As you can see, it took some time!



                         My lucky Mum got this as an early Mothers Day gift.
 

 Now I just need to find time to make myself one!

And everyone else that now seems to want one.....

 Keep your eyes peeled for info on my next workshops; coming up soon. 

Felted Purse - Workshop

New felted purse; Merino fibres with a splash of Welsh Black for decoration and a nice big wooden button to fasten it. 

 Fancy learning how to make one of these felted purses? Come along this weekend to a workshop @Fabrications on Broadway Market, East London. Saturday afternoon; booking advised! Please contact Fabrications directly.
