felt corsages
I took the wife's family out for tea and biscuits. They weren't too happy about giving blood, though. Les Dawson
Just playing around with some new banner ideas. Please excuse the scaffolding.
Okay, here are some of the felt corsages I made as a result of the felting workshop with Lizzie Houghton.
I made this poppy at the workshop.
This one is going to my friend Marilyn because the combination of purple and yellow always reminds me of her.
I'm having a real yellow moment.
This one is a paler lily-like creature with a spiky inside.
They are all photographed against some of my nuno samples.
And some petites:
I've taken photos of my felt pictures which I'll post soon.
Today's inspiration: Middle Aged Teacher at Flickr is my style icon.
Likes: Middle aged teacher's Carmen Miranda Necklace is very cool.
Thanks so much for commenting on my hedgehog - these lilies are just so incredible. I will definitely check out Lizzie Houghton's web page. And you asked about Artfest - oh my! It is a beautiful art retreat on Puget Sound outside of Seattle. I loved it so much that we are basing our vacation around going back! btw I have a giveaway for a felted vessel on my blog as part of One World - One Heart. It's nothing you couldn't make yourself, but please feel free to come by and enter the draw if you like!

Hi Juju!
I've been a secret admirer of your work for some time. Now I just *have* to let you know how much I love the felt corsages against the nuno background! Not just the felting is stunning but the photos are gorgeous in their own right.
Looking forward to your Etsy shop.
Kindest regards,
Hanneke

Wonderful felt work! I can't wait to see the felt pictures. I'm also dying to know if you made the Fault lines pattern you mentioned earlier. I would love to see it - the pattern is beautiful.

I noticed your new banner right away today. It is wonderful and represents you so well. And your felt flowers are just lovely. You have certainly captured the beauty of flowers in your wool.
