Our first get together was held in a rainy and Autumn like Kalix in the North of Sweden.. Had in mind to take lots of photos.. but you know how it is..
excitement goes first...
Lots of talking and getting to know each other...
some of us had had a long way to travel...
6 girls... from the north of Sweden .. different ages..
but with the same interest... CRAFT!!
First assignment to be done... was yarn dye and Nuno felting....
We started to dye yarn...
this was fun .. but it took quite a bit of time to get all the yarn dyed...
But we are more than happy over the result...
Very nice colours...
A little lottery was made ...
and the two that came home with me was the light blue and light purple... :o))
These will be used in later projects ...
The second project for the day was nuno felting...
And I am not sure If I shall love it or hate it..
It was fun ..but the result aint pretty..:O))
Ok ..
First to lay out all the wool in different directions... and then add a sort of fabric.. and this fabric was a bit thick and a bit rough...
and then wet it ... roll it up.. wet it some more... put in plastic bags...
and a potatoe sack on the outside .. and then bang it in the table for 5 minutes...
Great for releasing aggressions..;O))
... then check if it had started to felt.. and continue to work it..if for at least 15 minutes...
And the result...
A PRETTY piece of felt..lol...
Well NOT!!!
Our teacher calls it decorative pleats... :o))
So wish me luck to be able to make something pretty out of this..:O)
Today in the mail I got THE two most wonderful gifts
... but more of that tomorrow..:O))
