Fanciful Felt Flowers

Lyn

Last year I took part in a one-day 'Easy Way to Paint' acrylic workshop - the tutor had developed a fool-proof way of using acrylic paints to make grasses and flowers so that everyone in her class went home with a pretty painting - just the kind of class I like!

Here's my finished canvas from the workshop:

Lots of amateurish daubs and splatters but it was great fun to do and I like the colourful, happy picture.

It's been cheering up my craft room all winter and I've been inspired by it to make a felty version - it's wet and needle felted with the brightest wool colours I have and it's stitched to white mountboard and has a white frame. The felt is approx 43x35cm (17"x14").

So it's down with the autumn/winter picture in my hallway and up with the spring/summer one!
