Here is my last Pink Post for Thursday - to remind us all about Breast Cancer Research These are some pink felt flowers made by Lynette of Felt Rush whose felt making workshop I attended yesterday.

I had seen some of Lynette's work displayed in a cafe in town and admired these lovely flowers and wanted to find out how to make them but sadly the Flower making workshop was full so I did a handbag class instead - yes I know I have more than enough handbags already but it was a fun day out and I can now use the techniques I learned to make something else. A tea cosy perhaps?! Or maybe I could just upend my bag as a tea cosy?
Here are some pictures of Lynette's work.

The following ones are of my effort - not yet up to the same standard of course but I was happy with it!
The inside has a pattern felted in too - see?
So when you see a lady with a green bag with orange handles in the supermarket it might be me!
Oh my that bag is fantastic!!!! I wish I had some idea about felting. I love your latest bag!!
ReplyDeleteI love your bag, you are so clever especially if that was your first felted bag. Her flowers are beautiful... I don't normally go for workshops, but this is one I would probably attend, if only I didn't live hundreds of miles away!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Louise. I have no idea how felting is done and I like your bag very much. This sounds like a class I would like to attend if I were there.
ReplyDeleteFelting itself isn't difficult - could perhaps do a tutorial on how it's done if anyone wants it? Not that I am an expert of course!!

I LOVE your bag - in fact I love your more freeform flowers rather than the more formal ones.

I love the bags. I had to get out my reading specs to take a closer look. Wonderful detail. I can believe this is felting, thought it was a watercolor at first glance. What fun these are.
ReplyDeleteWow that felting looks stunning! But seriously... even I have less handbags than you! Does it really never end? ;)
ReplyDeleteEverhow, I likt the handbag, it's joy and pretty!
