I'm participating in a scarf swap on a felter's list that I'm on, this is my needle felted scarf that I packed up and posted off today, wonder what fab piece I'll get back.
I put the finishing touches to this piece titled "Ocean Rocks" to be entered into Thirroul's Seaside Art and Craft show miniature section 10x10x10cm.
They are 3 beaded silk paper pieces over Timtex mounted on a painted canvas.
Over the past week or so I've been finishing off a quilt project for a magazine, of course I can't show you the finished quilt but I can show you the fabrics, yesterday was spent writing the instructions, this morning I was making samples to acompany the instruction.
I also manged to get 2 loads of towels on the line whilst doing this and make a sand bag to rest my lump of soapstone on for carving in class.
Talking of towels......Mackenzie had been complaining on the weekend that there were no towels in the cupboard so I said "go into your room and find me all of the towels hiding in there - there must be at least 20 in there", he came out about 10 mins later and said "Mum, you exaggerated - there were only 17"!!!!!!!!!!!!!
one wonders what else is lurking in there............ what else have I lost lately?
So after my busy morning at home, off to school I go to play in the Sculpture studio for the afternoon, one of the great finds I had at the markets a week ago was a bag full of old window catches, this is what I did with them today.
After class I hot footed it up to Thirroul to drop of my little piece then finally home to a good cup of tea........
