My how time flies....
the Noosa Country show has been and gone for another year. Once again I entered the felt artistry sections in the arts and crafts competition. I did really well this time around.

Now I know this is blowing my own trumpet, so to speak, but if I don't, who will???
1st Prize for a felted garment with this capelette. It sits perfectly on the shoulders and the little glass beads in the flower centers make a nice detail.

1st prize for felted accessories with this beret. I just love the colors and the way the silk embellishment creates a sumptuous texture.

1st for felted soft furnishings with my rug. I used corriadale wool in this as it is a tougher fibre better wearing. It is also much, much harder to felt than merino wool.

And finally a 1st prize and Reserve Champion in the nuno-felt section with my gorgeous vest.
