Over the last weeks I have been doing a lot of sorting out and clearing out the mountains of felting I have accumulated. Some things have headed to the recycling but I have also come across some treasured pieces from my first Artybird felting course.
Sunsets featured prominently in my first course and here are my beginners attempts at dyeing with some very tentative sunset stitching.
One of the great things about the courses was the design work , but there was felting as well
Two different techniques to felt a sunset !
My first experience of natural fibres , using Shetland , which I have really grown to love.
Making an embroidered piece, again all hand dyed which if I remember correctly I was told to go back and stitch some more .
All these pieces are a wonderful reminder of the journey I embarked upon about 5 years ago. I think I have developed a lot (I hope I have ) but I think I can still see the voice I have today in these pieces.

1 Nov 2015It’s great to see your level 2 pieces Jane, your approach to the sunsets was very different to mine but I can see elements of the Da Vinci’s storm in your naturals piece, happy memories 🙂
