Various felt experiments





These photos are really horrid but it seems there's been no daylight here for ages... I'll replace them when the sun finally decides to make its annual appearance in September :o)
The first is a babushka softy I've nearly finished. I'm quite pleased with her face. I'll take a nice photo of her soon. She has nice vintage Laura Ashley fabric on her back, apron and tights.
The second are some little cards I made in a few minutes. Again the fabrics are vintage Laura Ashley - from the 60s, I think, from my mum's cupboard where they had once been intended for a quilt which never quite happened.
The last is a panda inspired (= copied) from a print-out a friend gave me. Not sure where it came from but she asked if I could make her a version as a gift. I made it a bit more lopsided than the original, which was quite spherical. I like wonky felt. He is sitting on some lovely pink tweed I bought in a sale.
Right, out into the rain.
