Riches Revealed- Joanna O'Neill

We all went on a fantastic workshop this weekend. We spent the day with Joanna O'Neill, who you can find at her website here. She specialises in Textiles, lots of Felt Work. She has also written a couple of books and read excerpts to us while we were working, very civilized!

She started us with this...














Then we did this...

My felting friends and I loved this workshop, soooooo many different things we can do with the technique.

Cobweb Scarves

This cobweb scarf really makes me feel like going to the seaside! I'm calling it Ocean.



And this makes me feel like being in the garden...first flush of Spring... so...Soft Spring is it's name!



Do you like these?
I am putting Ocean and Butterfly in the shop today. I always forget to update the shop because I want to keep everything!

Have a good day everyone. x
