Reunited.

In between cleaning up cobwebs and trying to find things I know I have but can't put my hands on,this piece of felt (a throw) came back from France while I was away-yes, in France! The exhibition organisers ignored the intsructions to return it to France,which would have cost them less and sent it to a house which could have been empty.The felt has old scarves which belonged to my mother,so I didn't want to sell it,but it is a technique I love to use.Can't wait to get back to felting again,when my shed is returned to its former glory,but we have to wait until it rains again to see if the repair has worked-of course when we want rain, where is it?

After the weekend

Back from Farncombe and a lovely, but exhausting weekend ,making Nuno felt scarves and wraps.We started with white Merino/scrim/silk combinations, then overdyed the scarves using acid dyes(not enough time to use my beloved naturals,but I will repeat this in France,using the local dyes)

Farncombe is a gorgeous place to work, but the panoramic views were obliterated by fog this weekend.My group worked really hard, almost to the point of not being able to move by 9.30 p.m on Saturday, so it was lucky that I had planned the dyeing for Sunday morning.

The results at the end of the weekend were lovely and well worth the effort put in by all.
