Sunflower fairy

In this afternoon workshop you can create your individual needle felted ornament related to the natural realm. To connect with the natural realm we'll start with a guided inner journey. During this guided inner journey you can connect with nature and it's colours, fragrances, textures, sounds, qualities, energies and beauty. This journey prepares us for the following felt project. You might receive ideas and images, which may inspire you for your individual needle felt project. It's fine as well, to have already an idea in mind before you arrive and just receive the atmosphere and energy of the natural world.

New fairy folk up for an adventure

A little gnome has appeared in my garden. It looks like he's ready to go for a walk or even a hike with his walking stick. I wonder what he's up to next. He told me, he doesn't like to wear shoes. I guess he must be hardy to walk bare foot in this Scottish weather and the rough and uneven ground. Hope he'll be fine and walk carefully. Do you think I'll be able to follow him and find out what his plans are? I'll do my best, put my shoes on and look out for him. Just watch this space and I'll keep you posted.
