Felting

I'm a bit delinquent in sharing my adventures, but I've been too busy to sit down and write!! On Thursday, I drove over to Westport (on the Atlantic Coast) to Derryaune Crafts. This is the place I went to early in the fall to purchase some roving and other supplies for felting. I've loved working a little with the wool...making flowers, etc. But, now I wanted to learn how to make vessels....in other words, I wanted to learn how to work with resists. Our task of the day was to make two bowls. It's really very easy and a lot of fun. We watched Suzie make one, then we each had our hand at the process... we were finished by lunch. We gather in a wonderful conservatory in the bright sun and enjoyed a great lunch. Then it was back to work...if you can call it that... it is such fun to put colors together. We were an international group with a lady from France, near Geneva, a lady from Ireland, me from the US and the instructor from England. Good fun, great day.
