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!!!

Just a Quick Heads Up

Myfanwy Hart has started a group called Create Something Every Day and sometimes, like this weekend, there will be an extra push.  The main link is http://createaday2014.wordpress.com/ and there is also a private Facebook page which you can ask to be a member of, ask any member or me so Myfanwy can approve you in.
There is no limit to where you come from or what you create or in what media.  You can paint a picture, sew a panel, sculpt a figure, design a garden flower bed, bake a cake you just have to try to create something and post about it.

I'm off to see what I can rustle up as the prompts start later this morning and carry on over the weekend.  Join us if you can!

I did manage to experiment with some babywipes, moulding paste, mount board, silk, beads and stitch and make this little casket in the week.

I wanted to see where else I could do other than books with a little structure, I enjoy building things!! It was only an experiment but I did enjoy it so I see some more in my near future.

Have a wonderful weekend!
