this wasn't supposed to be here, but anyway...we have a large family of the yellow tailed black cockatoos here at present eating the seed pods on the hakea trees...they were right by the gate and all flew up in a great screeching cloud when I drove out...they are beautiful birds..
ok.......two sides of wet wool and bubble plastic inside to keep it from felting together....trying to avoid the lumps forming on the edges...
I added some other wool for a bit of decoration but as I was felting it fell off.....obviously the wrong wool!! lol!!
and after much rolling...boy it gives your wrists a work out!!....I filled the bowl with garbage bags and worked and worked at it to get it back to a circle...it looked like a boat shape when I had finished felting...hee hee!! It is a bit wonky and out of shape and I have the lumps on the edges but I am happy with my first attempt. Have to have a chat to Pauline at Wednesday group and see what tips she can offer me.
Happy sewing!
a lovely distraction!
