more experiments - and winners

ok, this time I played in school, and since gobblins are not allowed in the premises things went well and we learned some cool stuff.

'Useless' - as Mr M would say... but cool.  And who knows anyway... 'one man's rubbish is another man's treasure' right?

Anyway.  The subjects of the day was 'texture' and we felted and felted and felter until we lost all the digital prints and became smooths like babies' bottoms.  (And there's nothing in the world smoother than that, trust me)

So, we felted marbles and cut them open

we felted over hessian

we felted silk fabric, mulberry tops and cotton thingy (nepps? nipps?)

we felted knitting wool and coloured flax

we scrunched up and stitched innocent soft felt

we even knitted merino rovings with gigantic needles

and then felted the result

(This baby would make the most awesome rug... if it were ten time bigger!)

But now, let's get down to business, right? Enough playing.

You're very very lucky ladies and the boys have picked a number each, which means not one, not two BUT THREE winners!!

And the lucky commenters are:

So,  Jen, Judy M and Sue from Devon send me an email with your details and I'll put something in the post to you next week.

Thank you all for leaving your comments!
