Well, the wool did arrive, lots of it, reds, greens and blues - where to start?Actually, it wasn't too hard to decide - I had been commissioned to make a red scarf so I got to work. I'm really happy with the result - a longish (56" x 10") scarf in scarlet with touches of orange, green and burgundy and inclusions of silky yarn and scraps of silk and silk fibres. I hope the lady who ordered it likes it.
Inspired by Sheila Smith's talk last week I also made a red felt bowl - I've not been too successful with bowls in the past, but this one is looking good - I'm embellishing it with some french knots - perhaps I'll have a photo of it next time! I think I'll try making some smaller ones too if I get time.
Apart from making some more brooches by needle felting and re-felting some pieces of pre-felt I had lurking in a bag of 'bits', I haven't done anything else creative this week - although, looking back, that's not a bad week's work, is it?
