Well, have finally started the final piece which I've named 'Full sun or partial shade'. It's intended to be a wall hanging as a dedication/celebration of my much loved 18 year old cat Pushkin who, as some of you will be aware, we had to have put to sleep a few months ago. He loved sleeping in the flower beds or bushes, and liked to toast himself for a while in the sun before retreating for a bit of shade to cool off.
This is one layer of my felt hanging. It's going to be mounted onto another piece of felt and then I'll be needle felting on some leaves to embellish it.
Here's a before shot - got the fibres laid out ready to felt - then fingers crossed it survives the felting process!!
And here is is after the wet felt - not looking too bad I think. Once it's dry I will tidy it up and add some detail with needle felting, and then embellish further with some embroidery.
So......... it's a start anyway :)
It's looking really good Donna. It looks great the way it is. Pushkin and the bleeding hearts are well portrayed and the colours are great. What colour will you mount onto ?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the finished project, will all the needle and embellish felting. It will be amazing.
