Last Saturday 16th of June,
we met at the Feltmakers Ireland studio for a needle felting
recession session. We were highly motivated and after a quick
introduction about wool, needles and technical basics, we started
jabbing our pieces.
After struggling with colour choice,
tough decisions needed to be taken, Fabienne started a cute orange
and purple teddy bear. Susan worked at the speed of the light to be
able to finish her doll and collect her son at 4pm. Mary made a
clever looking giraffe, she is still deciding if she keeps it for
herself or give it to her granddaughter (I understand after so much
hard work...). Yvonne made a doll with a bad hair day. And we were
all impressed by Luke, 11 years old, who followed his own design, a
sitting bunny with a carrot.
There were no major accidents, we only
needed three plasters, that's very good!
Every body worked very hard. All the
pieces were finished and looked fantastic, definitely it was not a
beginner job.
I had a great time, thank you Yvonne,
Luke, Mary, Fabienne and Susan for this fantastic day. I think that
we all enjoyed it and I hope this is the beginning of many others
needle felted creatures!
