recent work

I've been enjoying myself, working through an online course written by Jude Hill of Spirit Cloth.I've gained some interesting new ideas to apply to my feltmaking, and had the piece so far completed on the back of the sofa,so I could work out what to do next.The sun came out and my cat magically appeared.

I think she likes it!

A detail of a section.I have used my naturally dyed fabrics, and what is best of all,tiny scraps of fabric which I am now so glad I saved.Progress is slow but pleasurable and the end result, when I have edged it with plain felt made using the new machine,will be a lovely warm blanket which has a history, and the approval of the cat.

White challenge

This rather poor photo, taken in a coffee shop,so hard to get the angle right,shows the white challenge which a group of us have been working on.we have all made two pieces,based on a poster we found in a cafe in France(What makes you think we spend all our time in cafes?)Four of us are feltmakers and one a weaver and the idea was to use only white and cream and then assemble the individual pieces to create a larger piece.I'm going to be the assembler! I seem to be doing quite a lot of this sort of thing at the moment, but it is good to feel a large thing growing from small beginnings.Then, we will add to the large piece one by one and this will go on during 2010, then hopefully, it will appear at our exhibition in April.More of that later.
