Holiday!!

I'm going to be away from home for the next 2 weeks. In a moment I'm heading off to our city and guilds summer school for a week of felting and good company :-) Then the following week we're off camping, so any orders placed in the shop won't be sent out until after the 10th of August. Hope you are all enjoying your summer,

Another butterfly


This is a new brooch I designed recently that proved popular at the BCTF. I'm hoping to get some more made and in the shop soon. They are made from superfine merino felt and this one has been dyed teal.

Nuno Felted Vest

Last week I had a stall at Woolfest. The previous year I had worn my dress that I made at Charity Musoma Van der Meer's workshop, and it attracted a lot of attention. With a week to go to Woolfest, and a lot of stock still to make I decided I needed another felted item of clothing to wear so I whipped up this nuno top. I made it in a rush and it was really a bit of an experiment, but I'm really pleased with how it turned out. It's felted with superfine merino wool and silk pongee (I think) and over dyed with Brazilwood. I'm already designing some more tops so watch this space....
