Felt and Stitch Artwork

Another piece of our felt artwork has found a new home.   Its hard to let some pieces go after spending so many hours creating them, but it is a wonderful feeling to know that somebody loves your artwork enough to buy it and treasure it.

I've been working on another picture over the last couple of days.  Its at the stage of being ready for free machine embroidery.  Its of more flowers by the seaside but until I pick out the flower details in stitch it could almost represent balloons and streamers of a carnival - I love the colours!

This is quite a big piece (the pic is only of a smallish section) so I envisage spending quite a few days at the sewing machine on and off..... 

Wet Felt Making Demo - DAW at Coastal Creatives

I spent a lovely day at Coastal Creatives as part of Dorset Art Weeks last Tuesday.  It was incredibly busy, lots of people came in to the gallery to see & buy our work, and to have a go at making a sample of felt.  If you came in to see me, thank you!  It was wonderful to hear so many positive comments about our work and meet so many lovely people.  Unfortunately mum wasn't there, but her wonderful felt pieces were!

Here is a photo of one of the gallery windows just set up for the day, showing some of our works for sale and some sample pieces.  The lampshade is a recent addition to our work and took nearly 40 hours to complete.
