I have now started the piece for the guild show in August. I made a prototype and now I am making the actual piece. I am very proud of myself for the prototype I never do samples I just dive in.
The first part is done and now has to dry before the next part can be done. I am hoping its done by tomorrow but is raining so may not be.
I have another piece done but it needs mounting. Why is the finishing work always the hardest to do. I have the canvas and the paint but just haven't don it.
No pictures yet but once its on display I will post pictures. I was just happy I got back to felting. I seem to have been busy doing I am not sure what and have had no time to felt.

Do you belong to a felting guild? If so, I'm jealous, because I don't think such a thing exists here in the southeast US where I live.

Laura I belong to the Ottawa Valley Weavers' and Spinners' Guild. There are several felters in the group. We are having a gallery show in August. The woman organising it weaves in metal. I like to think we are an inclusive group.

That sounds wonderful. Do you live near Ottawa? My former MIL is from Quebec, she lives in Ottawa now in a retirement community. Spent lots of time in the summers in Quebec, a town called Fort Colounge, (guessing at spelling)--very pretty area up there.

Glad to hear you're doing some felt work Ann. Sometimes when you get off track it is hard to get back on. I have tons of stuff that needs finishing/framing. Don't remind me  |

Yes I live in just outside Ottawa. Fort Coulonge ( your spelling was pretty close) is a few hours drive north west. It is beautiful up that way. A lot of people have cottages up that way.

Good Luck with the finishing, Ann, the starting and finishing always seem hardest. Maybe that's why 'professional' artists just come up with the ideas then get their assistants to do the work  |
