work in progress and a lovely anglesey holiday

Hello lovelies! How are you? We are good - just back from a weeks holiday in Anglesey - its been beautiful - but more of that later! Whilst there I have been working on a needle felted picture that my friend Helen bought for me for my 50th - it was a kit and I have really enjoyed doing it - its all complete apart from the beading and embroidery... here are the steps I took...


I used unicorn wool to cover the back of a large canvas.....


Next I used green felting wool to add the grass and a combination of yarn and coloured wool to add the first flowers...


Next I added the two blue flowers....


I added the green leafy parts next - and then added more leaves and another flower in the front which I haven't pictured as yet... I am hoping to finish this soon!!

Its been a lovely week in Anglesey - here's a flavour ....

    I do find needle felting to be very therapeutic and I love what you have done on this piece Rachel, especially the beautiful cone flowers you added. It really does look like you have had a wonderful time on holiday too! We certainly can't complain about the summer weather this year!! Hugs, Anne xx
