Hello everyone, I came to join because I am interested in the challenges. I am a full-time felter and spend my time teaching people to felt and creating pieces to sell in Galleries and shops. I look forward to chatting with like-minded folk  Eve Www.evemarshall.co.uk |

Welcome to the group. Jump right in with pictures questions and advice. I am sure I have seen your things pop up elsewhere on the net. You can put the link to your site in your signature so it automatically shows up with every post.

Hello Eve and welcome! Looking forward to seeing your challenges and any other photos you want to share.
I felt a tad jealous when I read that you're a full-time felter - how wonderful.

Welcome Eve! Glad you joined us. The current challenge is doing something new with nuno felting. We'll have a new challenge coming up in July. I love your tree bags, very cool. And I too am envious of the title full time felter.

The challenges can be used to kickstart inspiration even if they're 'over'. It's always great to see what people have made |

Well I didn't have time for nuno felting because it started to rain. But I did tie some marbles into some pieces of pre felt. It takes too long to wait for them to be dry though. Glad I tried and I will probably needle felt on it to add some design.
Also figured out why people felt it completely then add marbles, instead of adding them in at pre felt stage. When I cut them out, the insides were not felted.
I will add photos when I go on my laptop later.

here is my first try at including marbles and gems in. Next time I do it I will felt a piece and then add them in... but I think they came out okay for first try. Attachment Deleted |

They look great for a first go at it. When I have tried adding things at the prefelt stage or using prefelt to start I found that soft things inside worked better.
