It wasn't anything exciting Lyn, the flower was just layed out on my table. I already have a frame with glass that I could use if I experimented this way so I just tested it to see what one bit would look like. I still have the flower put to one side so I could set it up again for you, cannot do it today, it is my first workshop!!
Another drawback to this method is obviously you cannot do any FME which I totally love. I think this would make you think more when creating the picture, so that would be a good thing. I hope you enjoy your first workshop! You'll be knackered though. Let us know how you get on. Thanks Lyn, it went like a dream, lucky me. I only had three ladies, I have six on my next workshop but it still went totally to plan. Not a pick of bother to any of it. The venue was great ( a tearoom), lunch included etc. I thought we had galloped along too much as we started earlier than planned, but it all slotted into place as the day progressed. The students all seemed very happy with what they produced, a great day!

Wow what an amazing picture by Penny. Not wet felting it also gives clarity of colour in addition to the texture. I've seen a few Russian artists and a local artist work this way. I wonder if these pictures could be misted with something to adher the fibres without losing the qualities we all admire? Tracey - have you tried needle-felting the nepps to your work post wet felting but before fulling (or even post fulling)? If I want them to 'pop' I wiggle the needle immediately behind the nepp but on top of the background. It takes a while (and if you have quite a few - a long while!) needling it in all directions with only a little directly from the top and yes sometimes they do still slide off during fulling, but I have been successful. Thanks Antje, I will try that!

Gosh Lyn, I really love that, great.
Yes Ruth your picture would fall all over the floor if the frame was damaged in any way.
I had a little play laying down a flower, merino, carded sari silks and nepps. I pressed a piece of glass onto it and I must say the nepps just popped right out, more so than if they had been felted perhaps.

Not sure where to post this so it has landed here!
Spotted this amazing picture by Penny Irvine on Textile Art Collective on FB. A picture just created and glass put straight on top. I noticed Ann said she wanted to try this one day. I love it.

Guess one drawback would be, if it was to sell, the buyer could never change the frame! I am going to try it one day too.

That is really great Pam, I agree with Lyn, the balloon does look 3D, great job, I see no flaws!

It all looks great Lindsay, glad it went well. I have put together a feedback form for my class on the 20th of this month, and my friends filled one in on the free workshop I did for them last week.
I am also supplying them with an info sheet of the materials used on the day, a list of the tools of the trade, bubble wrap, tulle etc, and a suggested list of suppliers and books. Then if they want to continue it at home, they don't have to try and remember things from the day.

Sorry folks. Had a notice when I tried to sign in to rectify the problem with images - Ipernity has closed my account - no idea why. So I've put the photos on rosie's ipernity: baublesnowmenowlspiderHow strange to have been cast out by ipernity! Love all the things you’ve made, especially the snowmen, who are very cool. (Oh dear, I really didn’t intend that pun). Cool and n-ice

How lovely to sit natter and create with other people. I share my crafting time with two Labradors! I like what you have created Lyn, the snowmen are 'you', remind me of one of your Christmas cards one year?

Hello and welcome!
Can you post a picture of your work at all? I cannot think of an answer but others may once they have seen a photo.

Ha ha Lindsay ! Are you after my wonky crown of joke maker? I can see what you are trying to do, you don't pull the wool over my eyes ! - that must be THE most obvious joke, so slight apologies!!
You will do a great job with the latest commission, go for it, be happy someone loves your work so much to want more, a huge compliment. I would be thrilled to be asked again.

It is Ruth. My second venue is within a private residential building and as I am using it for a business purpose I have to do a risk assessment, slips, trips and falls etc, I can see their point. Just a quick run through with my students and get them to sign it. Got to be safe rather than sorry I am afraid.
