Owl together now ....

How about this awesome octogenarian gent, a superb felt and wool owl owned by an 86 year old neighbour of mine!

He wins 'most inspiring owl' this week and I'm honoured to have met him and taken his picture. 

Have you got a very old handmade toy you will never part with? 

Sweet scrap fish ...

Next month sees my house transformed, and in part, open to the public as part of this years Arwey Art Trail ...

There are lots of new things to see, like a fancy pair of woollen fish that were born today while I sat with a poorly 6 year old ...

And my house of course, which has been very looked after following the winter damage. 

Will you come and see me?

Edward's Eyes ...

...are carefully needle felted, as i try and minic the idea that he is a china rabbit and would have his eyes painted on ...



therefore I paint with my needle until everything to the tiny highlight is complete, and then his character starts to really shine!


...even though his eyes are not shiny ... and his muzzle and mouth, well that's needle sculpting!
