I have so many baskets of felt; pieces left over from larger projects, they twinkle at me from the corners of my work room, the combinations of colour and texture just call out to me until I can resist no longer and I have to go through those baskets, pick out some jewels and make them into something new.
This week I have spent quite some time examining these little gems; some have silk, yarn or fabric embedded into them, and separating them into piles of complimentary colours. After cutting out some flower and leaf shapes.....
.....I came up with a new necklace design and embellished it with stitch.
I was so pleased with this first one that I made a few more. I have named them my Posie Necklaces. Some are pale and delicate while others are bright and vibrant.
Two of these are for sale on my Etsy store.
I don't know if this has anything to do with the weather but I have also been drawn to making 'watery' items this week. Fish and mermaids. I particularly like Aqua Marina, below....
......she's quite slim and elegant isn't she....??.....I'm so jealous!!....
.......and to brighten up the dull days I made some sparkly hearts !!
I hope you have all found ways to bring some cheer into these miserable 'summer' days too!!
