Hi everybody, My name is Orla Osborne, and I'm really excited to be here and a part of this community. Thank you Ruth, Zed, Marilyn, Jan and Ann for creating and maintaining this fabulous Felting and Fiber Forum, I'm sure it was and is a ton of work.
I'm a biologist with a lot of art and crafting hobbies, felting being my main one and one I have been practicing for about 15 years now. I enjoy the versatility of felting and the beautiful textures and colours that come with so many different fiber types. I've recently gotten into natural wool dying, using things I find out in nature or in my fridge to create some experimental (and often vibrant) colours.
My art is mostly inspired by nature, I'm obsessed with wildlife, so I find the marriage between biology and art a very happy and productive one (by the way, the Lindsay Wilkinson banner at the top of the page is amazing, I instantly checked her work out on face book and began following her work! Love it).
So, I'm here to make friends and learn a lot from everyone. I'm keen to learn new techniques, and about equipment, and just in general be inspired and motivated.
Thanks everyone,
Orla Osborne

Hi, Orla, and welcome to the forum. I'm a felter and a natural dyer too and would love to see some results of your experiments.
