Fiona Harvey started us off with her beautiful beads, made under the tutelage of Dorothy Dinsmore at our last felt in! Elaine showed us three lovely nuno felted scarves that she had made.
Ann Fairly showed off her lovely needle felted Hare and a wet felted bag.
Tina made a beautiful needlefelted broach of a fox terrier buy sadly we didn't get a photo of it!
The session was led by the erudite Fiona Harvey, who demonstrated how incorporate inclusions into our felt, She showed us how to lay out our silk add a cut out piece of felt , which were then covered with wool.
Some of Fiona's samples
Everyone completed a sample and each one was very different. Mary Larkin made a lovely rabbit and Dympna added sailboats on her sample.
All the samples were colourful, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. It will be interesting to see if this technique appears in any work at our next show and tell.
Some of the samples at the end of the session!

I jumped out of the car again this week to photograph these fellows, sadly they thought I was going to feed them and came running up to me! So I will have to take them down some carrots?!
