Yesterday I was a very busy bee and wet felted several pieces of background felt for my larger 'dumflings' (that's needlefelted pictures for the uninitiated!)
This supply of wet felted backgrounds should be enough for ten pictures, which I'll probably free-machine embroider.
You can also see a peek of my large sheepy picture which I've been working on for several weeks now. Yesterday I free-machined the foreground and lightly felted some pinky purple detail to suggest foxgloves. I'm now at that dangerous stage where I may be tempted to add too much detail so I'm going to leave it for a while.
Here are some of the fabulous pieces of work that the lovely ladies of Teme Valley Embroidery Guild produced on my workshop at the weekend.
The Guild members gave me such a warm welcome and, with all their enthusiasm and skill, made the workshop a joy to run.
I've got a bit of a breather now until my next workshop on 25 June so I'm working on some new pieces. I'm stocking four shops now so I am totally out of stock! On Monday I set up my pitch at the latest outlet - The Bog Visitors Centre by the Stiperstones - a beautiful rugged landscape in south Shropshire.
Well that's all for today, I have a sleeping toddler so must make the most of the time and get cracking with these new background pieces.
Thanks for stopping by,
Happy crafting
