Blended Batts, Wool Painting, Blooming Wildflower Meadow

[Deleted]

Hello Everyone, 

i hope oped everyone is doing well.   I have finally finished My next Class Project coming up on May 2nd...I called "Blooming Wild flower Meadow with wee sheep roaming about...  I made up several blended batts to use for this project and the kits for the students.. What do you all think?

My Nesting Ball Survived the snow blizzards of Winter, with a huge mound of snow on it for many weeks.. And many rainstorms and it still looks wonderful. It was made of Alpaca wool... I placed it off to the side from our living room so I could watch it.. Yesterday I saw a Robin pulling on the wool... Huge smile.  So the birds do really use the fibers...

I like your blooming meadow and glad to hear that a bird noticed your nesting ball. Mine is still hanging empty :-(.

You have been busy! Your batts look great and I'm glad the birds are using the fiber. The squirrels really liked mine.

Lovely batts! You are having some fun with your new carder, I see. Next winter I will try the nesting ball instead of the bird pod, which--BTW-- not one bird ever visited!

Judy, your meadow pic looks great. I'm glad the birds noticed your nesting ball. I'll have to try that. We have a lot of birds in our yard.

Wish I could take the class - looks like so much fun! I will have to do a nesting ball also.

great colours for the meadow, I bet the class will be fun, and what a joy to see a robin taking felt :-)

Nesting ball is fab Judy!

You've done a great job with the batts and the meadow picture with sheepies - the students will love working the project.

The batts and meadow are great Judy. I have put fiber out before and no one showed any interest.
Cathy try your pod somewhere else. My mom had a bird in hers. You could cut the mouth bigger and use it as a feeder next year. The chickadees used the small one I had here.
