Surface Decoration

There was a great turnout for October's Felt in with Maria who had a wonderful range of samples of surface decoration to share with us!
With cords and spikes and bubbles and spheres all competing it was hard to decide which technique to choose to sample!
We learned the basic techniques of using prefelted cords and spheres to enhance the flat surface of felt with some lovely results.
Maria showed examples of how to cut into the surface of felt which had been stitched to contrasting colours of cotton fabric. A particular favourite was adding standing up triangles which looked very impressive.
There was great chat while everyone worked hard to ensure at least one sample piece was completed before the end of the session.


Some of the lucky people who did the nuno scarf workshop in September brought along their finished pieces to the envy of the rest!!


A big thank you to Mary Larkin who very thoughtfully brought along some freshly baked chocolate buns for us all to enjoy!
