Hever Update

A few felting updates following the Hever Castle show.  I finally got around to finishing the rust-coloured 'bowl on a football' using Norwegian fleece that I started on the final day of the show (and got too distracted chatting to visitors to finish!).  I also made felt handles for the fabulous pink bag made by Teresa on Sunday.  And Mary, one of my Friday crew, finished embellishing the tea cosy she'd made with extra felt flowers, beads and embroidery - lovely.  Here are the results of our efforts!

Hever Castle Feltmaking, 12-14 Sept 2014

Here are some of the results from last weekend's feltmaking demonstrations at Hever Castle.  My creative crew did a great job dealing with this more unusual feltmaking method (using a ball to create a 3D shape like a bag or bowl).  We ended up with some fantastic felted items - tea cosies, bags and bowls, plus a bag and a flower corsage using the more usual flat-felting methods.  There were over 4000 visitors to Hever during the 3 days of the event and there was lots of interest in our feltmaking, so an enjoyable time was had by all.
