Felt samples in red

I love red. It's true..... so given a minute to play with stuff, it will be in red. The only problem at the moment is time is soooo short, I can only add to my stash of samples. I am dyeing (sorry for the pun) to make a poncho or wrap to wear but until I can get organized this is the best I can do. I tried Dale's idea of dry felting she learnt in a recent workshop (sorry, don't remember who with) but found it weird. So I added water.

Finishing off day

Verdigris for Dale.


Chicken finally finished, unlikely to lay anything edible.


I enjoyed using lime velvet dyed by Rae to embellish the chook.


Just working it out, this was a hand dyed blanket offcut.

As promised, the chicken is done! Just realized, making soft toys is my least favorite sewing thing.
Mixed into finishing this chicken was a quick dyeing job for Dale from The Thread Studio. This is her new commissioned colour from me called Verdigris. I think I have had four goes at getting this one right, and I am still not sure. There were so many possibilities. Anyway, it's dry and about to go out in the mail.
