« Making Handspun Yarns for Creating Texture in Handmade Felt | Main | Felted Flotsam Picture »
.....a piece of flowery textile art is finished. Ta dah! Fluffy felty stitchy flowers. Done :-)
Really enjoyed making this picture - lots of texture was created while machine stitching into the handmade felt and then adding small details by hand lifted the colours in places, especially a little spray of white flowers here and there and lots of colorful french knots. Trouble is that its hard to know when to stop!

I have just found your amazing site, after looking for a bit of inspiration online. I have not done any felt-making yet, as I started my first night School class last Monday (which was just a demo). I am absolutely inspired by the pieces you have done. I think the way you have put together the tutorials is excellent, and the site looks so professional... well done ladies. I will definitely be using you as my reference point from now on. I think this is going to be a very addictive craft.

How beautiful! All the stitching (which must have taken ages) really brings it to life and the colours...! Bliss. Are you going to frame it or make it into a hanging?
Bet you enjoyed doing it.

Lovely, colours are great and I love all the extra detail you get from the stitching. How long did it take you?

Its gotgeous! I like the way the stitching on the felt provides so much texture and the hand stitching finishes it off beautifully. Love the spirals too! A happy picture. I can see why you enjoyed it so much.

I love it, it is beautiful. I won some hand dyed threads, so thinking of trying a picture piece and doing stitching with the variegated threads.
