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. 

*giveaway* of a small harvest moon patch

So here is my first giveaway; a patch of felt meets cloth for you to use how you will. You could use it in a larger cloth, use it to patch a piece of clothing, to add a moon to an autumnal art cloth.....

size: 9 x 11 cm

Please leave a comment with your name and how you think you might use the patch if you win. Make sure you are contactable [email link], and, as I am going away this weekend, I will be randomly picking a winner on Tuesday 23rd August.

Good luck!

Harvest Moon Patches and a New Cloth

Had a really productive day in the studio, taking photos of previous small cloths for the shop, and making some new felt meets cloth patches; some autumn harvest moons:

merino wool & tea stained muslin 

merino wool & linen cotton

merino wool & tea stained muslin 

These will be going up in the shop on Monday.

a WIP; harvest moon bookmark

 This will be too when its finished. 

I have also been playing with a new cloth. Its a work in progress, might be a slow one. May even see me to winter? Lets see how it goes. Its still small, but on the larger side of small, and could grow of course...

scarf experiments

Tried out some nuno felt scarves with muslin. Cant seem to get this second image to flip round the right way - blogger image upload seems to have a mind of its own these days.
