I can’t imagine anything wearable or washable would something that would melt and ooze. "Sampling makes sense trying something unknown. Sorry you had such a purple ooze experience. Thanks Marilyn. You have indeed collectively turned me into a maker of samples. At first I thought I was too impatient but now I see I can get really quick results through sample-making, even if not immediately of a finished product. As for the purple things, maybe a couple of photos for the sake of posterity and then the bin.

Love him Lyn and the stretched worm really gives it action! I wish I'd taken a photo of the bird before I needled on the worm - after just 2 minutes work the picture transformed from a 'still' to an 'action'.

He looks like at any second the worm will pop out of the ground and he'll fall over on his tail feathers

I have to apologize for the missing apostrophes in our 2Q newsletter. Evidently, Wordpress doesn’t like them. They were all there when I transferred the copy from Word. But couldn’t enlarge the screen to see they were missing in the Wordpress copy. I really do know how to punctuate properly. :-) We won't send out the "Apostrophe Police" yet Marilyn. Though they do exist. A man in UK regularly goes out under cover of darkness, with a ladder, sticky tape and paintbrush and corrects any Apostrophe Offences in his town. Now all our US members will want to correect my spelling of offences - we use 'c' rather than 's'.

Keeps us on our toes.

We all realise/realize that there are so many differences but we manage to understand each other don't we and sometimes it gives us a giggle.
A lot of UK words still retain the French influence whereas the US equivalents are phonetic e.g. centre/center, fibre/fiber, litre/liter, catalogue/catalog, metre/meter, programme/program ... and there are more.
Since partaking in this forum I have caught myself spelling fibre as fiber a few times!

Here in Australia we have people who adhere to the English tradition, those who use the American and those who can't make up their minds so do some of each and end up with coloured fibers.

I am wondering about including a nuno sea in a wet felted picture as my contribution to the Q2 studio challenge. As a reformed character I of course started with a couple of samples. Another beautiful huge charity shop silk scarf - I tried two colours of wool and tried both sides of the silk as it’s reversible. www.ipernity.com/doc/2373440/46536424www.ipernity.com/doc/2373440/46536426www.ipernity.com/doc/2373440/46536428Decided I liked the pewter side slightly better than the blue/green side for the local sea colours. Spent a while puzzling over whether to felt this section first or just put the silk on the merino directly into the picture. Decided to felt it first because I want lots of rouching but mostly in one direction, so here it is. www.ipernity.com/doc/2373440/46536430It’s about twice the size of the section in the photograph. I’m not sure what will happen when I include it into a merino piece. I don’t really want it to shrink a lot more so I may add it after I’ve prefelted the rest of the piece and not full it very hard (it will end up behind glass). I’m hoping that will attach it enough so it doesn’t bag off the background when hung. I guess I could stitch it on when the rest is finished but I’d prefer not to do that. Any thoughts or advice?

What lovely colours and texture! It's definitely sea. If it needs stitching you'll be able to hide the stitches within the ruching.
