Slow progress ............
Looking a bit flat hence the need to do a bit of experimenting with other things. Felting over a balloon. It was fun. The shape wasn't bad but, as expected, not as precise as I would have liked and the added curly fleece didn't work so well either so not sure it's a method I would use again. Last resort = washing machine so even more scruffy now ...............
.
With some snow on Wednesday & more forecast, I had decided to set Thursday aside for some felting but was distracted ................. the hills from our back garden ..............
Along the top of these hills runs a lane ................... Four 4x4 vehicles & eight young men got stuck there late Wednesday night when they met an abandoned vehicle and, after several hours attempting to free themselves huddled together in two vehicles for the night. From being able to see the road when they came to a halt, daylight came .......................
Thankfully, one of our sons and his 7 mates managed to get out of this and another vehicle and get home safely.
I have finally got round to doing some felting today. I have used resists and felted over objects before but this is my first attempt at using a balloon ...............
not sure that it's quite the sea urchin shape I was aspiring to but it's a vessel nonetheless. My special Valentines gift was being allowed to play all day so this is for my husband ............ when it's finished ............
Thankyou for all the comments on my giveaway post ........... I really was surprised to see so many. Each comment was assigned a number (by myself) in order of posting, written on a piece of paper, folded and placed in a bowl. Independantly witnessed by aforementioned no. 2 son, my husband picked out no. 2 .................. Sue from "The Magic Armchair Traveller in Stitches" whom I will be contacting shortly. I must mention that said son was really quite perplexed that people had actually said that they would like one of the bowls and wonders why on earth somebody would want one ................... same reason as I would I suppose. There's nothing like family to give you an inferiority complex eh?
