Felt and Feathers WOYWW 362


This is my table as I left it last night - I packed in when the bobbin ran out. I am using up some old pieces of handmade felt (done as a demo 20 years ago probably) and some 'feathers' I made for a wall hanging which are about the same age.


The leaf brooch was the first one made because I wanted to give something to a friend for her birthday and obviously whist I had all the stuff there I have to use up the felt. In the light of day I realise I have to get more machine threads out - the industrial cops (have about 60 of those in drawers in the garage. The other material on there is viscose/silk velvet so colour looks odd on camera. 





So I will have a peek at some desks before I do more machining this morning then I can do the hand stitching bits at the lunch craft group - although I may not get to do this since Monday morning I received a bag of zips from the wonderful Chris Dann for the group to play with. There is a big zip in there which I am claiming - it says 'necklace' to me.

    Wow, Jackie, you really do fantastic needlework, I love the leaves. I never really know where to start with an intricate project like that...wish we lived nearer, I'd come to you for lessons!

    That heart brooch is beautiful! What lovely colour combination and stitches. Bet it feels great to find a use for those bits and bobs from years ago. I still have left over pieces of my first ever wet felting from my A Level textiles coursework circa 1998. Where do the years go?! Happy crafting, Max #29 :-)
