I am coming to realize that it can take me a very long time to finished a felted piece.  In July 2015  I made a piece based on some photographs I had taken in 2014.  The inspiration was wet lichen covered rocks. 

  
Then I looked at this felted piece and thought what on earth will I do with this now ! For those of you who read this blog , might remember I eventually cut it up.  A radical move , but I still could not finish it ! I loved the dark brown Masham surround and wanted to find away to bring it all together. 

So I took it to a master class with  Artybird and asked ,” what shall I do now”. Various suggestions were made mostly involving bringing it together as a piece.  I thought about this , alongside the original inspiration  for the piece and suddenly I could see a way forward.  Organic stitching across the whole piece, along with the addition of some more fabric. 

So here is the piece being transformed .  

Some stitching and pinning.  And here it is , ready for framing.  It’s only taken me about 18 months to get to this stage!!!!!!!
