Finally getting back to this

So. Hi. Welcome to my meanderings. This being very new to me I guess I'll just learn as I go. I haven't had much time to post lately because I've been plotting my latest entry for the felting section of the Sydney Royal Easter Show. I have entered in two sections for the last 2 years. Each time I have managed a ribbon - 2nd each year for non wearable items. Last year I managed a highly commended for the wearable section. So... I hope to do better this time around. I love entering the shows because, well, if people didn't enter, the arts and crafts section wouldn't exist and it is always one of my favourite pavillions. I also respond to the challenge and push myself to experiment with new techniques each time I do this. The items I make for this show either wouldn't have a large buying market, or else take so much time to construct, that I'd never gain fair price. So, they are special, one off, works of art.

This pic is the wearable piece I made last year.

It is titled Spring Coat.

I've used a variety of techniques, mostly nuno-felting,

use a fine silk georgette as the base fabric.
