Easter Basket

Easter Basket is knitted awaiting felting (fulling).
I picked up the stitches on the inside of the rim, hoping for a braided effect once felted.

Will begin bunnies tonight with this lovely Lorna Laces yarn, which does not show true color in pic, it is truly more robin eggy muted color.

Wet Felted Flowers.....Continued



My wet felted flowers had to sit unattended for a day, while I got back in the swing of being off holiday.

Yesterday I gathered all my supplies and decided this lovely belongs on this unfinished felted bag. I thought the bag complimented the flower quite well, the bag needs to be completed, it is in need of purse feet, lining, closures, handles, etc, etc. I will choose a lining that brings out that bright blue and tie it all together. Rather looking forward to it.

I may have gone overboard on beading, it looked fine until I posted this photo.....comments please.



to this I added 3 felted leaves and a beaded stamen, am still working out how to add pistals, I tried beads on beading thread, too droopy, tried beading wire couldn't get beads to stay where I wanted them, (do I need a crimping bead?). Even dusted off my old embroidery skills and added french knots, how fun!

Must get more roving to do more!
