This is my table from last night since it is totally clear this morning as I'm off to physio and then onto Crunch - Craft @ Lunch. I had been making brooches ready for Artists Open Studios at the weekend and these are made from felted jumpers - bits not used when I made the cushion few weeks ago and oddments of hand-made felt. Bits of silk were added along with cut and frayed sheer fabrics over painted paper scraps. Here are some already finished - mum-in-laws moth-eaten cardigans have gone a long way.
The Open Studios day is really devoted to showing my paintings but I love chatting about all types of creativity. Hoping for a dry day I have even got my deckchair back out - I made this about 15 years ago now from hand-appliqued turban muslins and it had held its colour surprisingly well.
If anyone would like to check out what other crafters are doing this week follow the link to Julia's page.
I can't stop drooling over your deckchair Jackie it's fabulous
