A warm welcome to my blog!
Here you will find my fiber craft creations: wet felted and needle felted handmade products made with love. I love fiber craft and being creative with natural fibers like sheep's wool, silk, cotton, linen and more. I love to share my skills in demonstrations and workshops. It is my pleasure to create bespoke fiber craft. In 2021 I have stopped updating this blog. You can find updates about my activities, workshops and events on my website: www.laryna.com
Last Saturday afternoon we celebrated the Harvest with many fantastic activities for all ages. Most of the afternoon the weather was sunny and all activities, like face painting, recycling crafts, needle felting and apple juice making could happen outside at the Toryglen Community Base. There was even a mushroom walk through the Malls Mire wood and a bonfire, baking bread over the fire. Oh, and a most delicious lunch buffet was set up to every bodies enjoyment! The music was provided by bicycle power. Sorry, no photo taken. I very much enjoyed getting more folks hooked at needle felting :-) Here you can see a few of the beautiful harvest and Autumn items which have been created!
Please, read on the poster above what's going on at the Harvest Festival. I'll be there with my felting equipment and you're very welcome to have a go on needle felting all autumnal things like fruits, vegetables, mushrooms and colourful autumnal leaves.

Testimonial:: I enjoyed the guided journey to start the afternoon. It
really set the tone for the creativity. It was also fantastic to see
other people’s creations taking shape and to take inspiration from the
beautiful display. The teaching style was relaxed and encouraging and
very informative. Thank you for a lovely afternoon. Karen L.
