Hi Everyone
I recently discovered this board. I do wet and needlefelting and belong to a local group, Feltmakers North. I am still learning and enjoy going to workshops as I am trying to develop my own style. I have dabbled in dyeing and hope to learn spinning on a wheel soon. I can do a bit of drop spindle spinning. I have always been a big fan of textiles and have been sewing and embroidering since I was in school.
Jane

Thank you, Ruth. I will have a go at uploading a photo. If this works, it should be a photo of a piece I made at a recent workshop with Karoliina Arvilommi. Attachments:

Hello Jane and welcome! The piece looks great - do you have a post-felting picture too? I've just looked at the website for Feltmakers North - WOW - what a lot of scrummy goings on - fabulous!

Is your bird piece a rug? Just asking as I know that Karoliina does a lot of rug workshops. I would love to see the end result as well.

Hi Jane, and welcome to the Forum! I’ve been to your lovely part of the world--in fact, have ancestors from way way back in County Down.
Love the rug you made with Karollina! How large is it?
Look forward to seeing more of your work.
