Springtime with felting and more felt workshops in the Glasgow area

Just love to felt Green men. So, this is number three, and they are all three very different.

 Or a cute toddler bluebell hat and baby booties?  They are wet felted and it's much fun to see the outcome when you make these kids things.

Imbolc, first signs of Spring

Tree spirit

Inspired by a long countryside walk this  needle felted tree spirit was created.

Brigid with ewe and lamb

The celtic festival of Imbolc or Candlemass called in the christian tradition is the time of the first signs of Spring. Snowdrops, here on Brigid's dress are the first signs of early Spring. Newborn lambs are related to Imbolc, which means " in the belly" or "ewe's milk". Bride or Brigid is the young maiden, announcing the time of faster increasing daylight. 
Below I posted an ivy fairy and a sun angel. It must have been my longing for more sunlight that made me creating this wooly angel.

New nuno scarves and what participants in the previous felt workshops created

I soooo much love nuno felting as more as I do it! Here you see my 2 newest nuno felt projects. This time I used a cotton voile instead of a chiffon silk fabric. It works fine and makes wrinkles too.
Planning to run a nuno felt workshop in Glasgow. If you would be interested, please send me a note: laryna108@gmail.com and let me know. Times could be either beginning of December or mid/end of January 2012.
