What a great start we had with Gail Cooke as out tutor for our first Autumn felt in! Gail brought some beautiful inspirational pieces made with Blue faced Leister wool in its three natural colours.
We started making prefelts in BFL to make a mat similar to the one above!
The turn out was terrific and it was really good to catch up with familar faces and also meet new ones! Here they are all listening carefully to the advice given by Gail.
I had to take a photo of these nails, that were busy felting!
Some of the fabulous work produced during the morning!
Sorry this one has gone in sideways! It was a great morning and we also decided instead of a show and tell to just tell each other helpful tips!Three best tips from the morning were;
When using bulb sprayer, spray round edge first to avoid wool travelling.
Stand straight think of your back and have one foot in front of the other.
Have a face cloth handy to dry your hands(this avoids wet trousers as I always rub my hands on them!)
Some of the girls had brought their bags from Nicola Brown workshop and I didnt get a chance to take photos so I hope they will bring them next month so I can include them in the blog. On saturday we have our nuno felting workshop so there will be another post soon! Forms are available for extended felt in in October 19th, email Ann address in workshop felt in section!
Bye from me, it is great to be back felting I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did!
