Vessel Competition!

Here is the chance to put your new found knowledge into practise! Feltmakers Ireland are running a competition, open to all feltmakers, to make a vessel using a minimum of 80% native wool fibre, to be exhibited and judged at The Rare Breeds show at Gosford park on the first week end in September. The visitors to the show will choose the winner by placing at bead at the vessel they like the best! This show is a good chance to see the beautiful sheep that provide us with the wool that we use for felting! The Weavers and Spinners of Northern Ireland will also be there, so it should be an interesting day! For all of you interested in entering please contact Sheila Ahern at http://www.feltmakersireland.com/ as entries need to be submitted no later than 26th August! Freda will be having a stand of her rare breeds wool at our AGM so there is no excuse that you wont have the right wool, no excuses come on everyone, enter and enjoy the challenge! If you want any more details you can contact me through the blog!
 Can you tell I love all the photographs of the sheep, this one is a particularly beautiful Jacob sheep!
