Well after being extremely busy during the months leading up to the Country Living Fair and then completely exhausted after it, I haven’t had time to play for awhile. Last Thursday I started playing with wet felting and tried making a scarf. Today I decided to try and make a large bag. I have made lots of little bags before but I haven’t tried one this big before. I am very happy with the outcome. It is wet felted using a dark navy blue inside, grey middle and then green and blue to look like the sky and grass on the outside. After I felted it I sewed a couple of my flowers to it plus a needle felted bee, ladybird and a couple toadstools. I have also done a bit of needle felting on it. It is not finished yet but could be used tomorrow when it dries.
I am teaching a private class on Friday making some bags and bowls and will bring it with me as an example. I will also be teaching this class in June at the village hall in Aslackby, if you are interested in signing up just sent me an email. 🙂
