Felt

This time we have another member who has been busy with craft projects as well as art work. Helen Welch has sent photos of a felt piece she has made, involving wet felting, prefelt and needle felting and also two bags she's made. Having avoided putting in zips for some time she decided to tackle that particular phobia, despite not having zips the right length for the project. She also made a necklace of large beads that she's had for years and a leather cord, but "since a two-day old gorilla could have done the same" she decided not to send a photo!

Self inflicted torture

Jill Haiselden has been busy with a demanding craft project over recent months. "Here at last, is a picture of the cross stitch embroidery I started before the lockdown. As you will see from the close up, which covers less than a square inch, it was a kind of self inflicted torture as the colours changed stitch by stitch in some places! I chose for the subject which made me smile even when I was cursing it."
