Doing Well So Far

Yesterday I managed to put some of these materials together.  This is a collection of items from The Thread Studio's Needlefelting  Club.

A little layering with the prefelt, wool and scrim.

A scoot around with the embellisher.

Today I stitched over the top with the sewing machine which made it dome slightly.  I wanted to add another element and first was going to use copper sheet but thought this brass mesh was nicer.  Because of the doming of the fabric I also dapped the mesh circles into domes.  Cute eh??

They were stitched on, a plus side to the mesh though the copper sheet would have stitched too.

After adding some beads I have now started to layer them onto another prefelt I have run through the embellisher with some more of the wool and a chiffon overlay.

As I'm running on 3 hours sleep a night at the moment I think I will put this aside and pick it up again tomorrow now.  I'm used to erratic sleep patterns but also know when stopping is a better option than picking out stitches the next day!!!
