On Saturday 29 February Julie held a needle felting workshop. Attendees were treated to the skills and guidance of an expert owl designer . She guided them through and provided a kit so that they finished the day with a pretty stylish looking owl. Extra information and more photos can be seen in our March 2020 addition of our Newsletter. Well done Julie and well done ladies!
One of our newest members Lyn, has created these two Angel Bears. They are delicately hand-sewn and the result is quite spectacular.
Our creative artist Julie, has been busy making an owl family. When she has finished, it is rumoured she will call them Who, What, Where, When and Why. The little white owl appears to be having a bad hair day.
The following pictures are of items created from our Tuesday group of ladies. The scarf by Faye was hand spun and woven using Merino and Cashmere wool. It will be a Christmas present for her lucky family in America.
The kookaburra was crocheted by Margaret. It will be taken to a little boy in Scandinavia along with a book called Fabulous Aussie Fables. The book was written and illustrated by another of our members named Julie.
This board of imaginative wet felting was created by the students of the Special Education Centre of Henry Kendall High School. Some of our members assisted the students in learning wet felting. Quite a strenuous task. The students were quite pleased with their colourful results.
Our talented crocheters have been hard at work creating new and exciting projects. Well done to Debbie and Margaret. Scraps of yarn can always be turned into a work of art.
What a wonderful day we all had at the cottage today. There was six of us attending the Nuno Felting workshop with the very talented Carolyn Kohler. Everyone went home very happy with their wrap and they were all so different but all looked just amazing. I asked the ladies to share their thoughts on the workshop and here is what they had to say …
* Marvellous workshop with a patient and talented tutor.
* I am so thrilled with the skills I have learnt today and so proud of my piece.
*Thank you so much Carolyn for a wonderful day, your calmness and encouragement was invaluable.
*I am thrilled with my Shawl and am In awe of the wonderful creations you guided us all to produce. This was an unforgettable day and the start of a whole new fibre adventure for me.
Carolyn has promised to come back next year to do another workshop for those who were interested but unable to attend today.
Jan S wearing her wild spun knitted off the bobbin shawl, her daughter is now suffering from shawl envy…. guess she’ll have to make another!
Jenny M (with her back to us) is wearing the fabulous creation from her wild spun off the bobbin shawl.
At Bev’s retirement village they are having money raising raffles and a farm display. These are the animals Bev Smith has created all from wool.
Lyn Hilton from our neighbours, The Potter’s Society, has made some lovely pottery wool bowls for all our knitters and crocheters. It stops your ball from rolling all over the place. Won’t stop your cat from attacking it though. We love Lyn’s beautiful bowls.
