I was given a big bag of necklaces which I took apart to end up with a big bag of beads! I rather liked these turquoise beads and followed instructions on Fiona Duthie's online course to felt them into a little vessel. I spent a long time rubbing the vessel before rolling and I think it's turned out quite well. The colour of the vessel is a bit yuk, but it serves me right for using brown.  |

It turned out really well. You could over dye the whole thing if you want to. Overdyeing coloured wool gives you some nice effects.

Looks great smiff. I think the color is fine, I like the mix of wool colors with the pops of turquoise beads.

It's a lovely vessel Smiff! There's nothing wrong with the colour of the wool - it lets the turquoise shine through.

I agree about the colour, it really matches with the turquoise and shows it off, it looks great  |

Lovely effect Smiff. Those turquoise beads really shine against the muted background.
