Having made a good trial start after her first lessons, Ann's been busy during the past week and made some detached felt shapes - here's her first star.
She's also had inspirational thoughts on making a dry-felted panel - initial images based on peacock feathers. After discussion of possible 'problems', she's beginning with making some 'trial' samples. This will resolve any issues as well as developing her techniques.
First set of trial samples are using wool (blues & greens) and a lovely alpaca silk (brown) to work the main 'eye' sections of the feather on a backing fabric (final choice likely to be velvet). The 'feathery' ends may be worked in a variety of couching .... if all goes according to plan during the following week !!
