Mossarti Hand Felted Hares

Wild mountain heather and cotton grass. Lovely lazy Sunday hand stitching on a wet felted landscape.

Life Still Rocks!

I can feel a project is about to happen! 😊

Hmmmmm not what I expected but I love the ivory shade. These were the centres of the red Dahlias after the petals had been removed.

Loving the lemon shade from his dahlia. The one below had alum added to the dye bath.

Really happy with these results as after reading numerous books and posts it seemed you only ever get yellow and orange from Dahlias no matter what colour! The sample on the right had a little alum added to the pot and definitely looks pink to me. 😊

What better to do on a rainy day than more Dahlia dyeing 😊 I will share results once completed!

Making the most of this glorious weather today before the storms and doing some experimental dyeing with Dahlias from my cutting garden.

Dyeing to get started again! 😊

Had a lovely chill day and managed to get to some of my fabrics. Needed to create and made some hand stitched soft sculptured botanicals. Love the calming rhythm of slow stitching. 😊

Just thought I would update you as I’ve not posted for a while.
I started to pack up my studio in summer as I’m in the process of relocating to Wales.
Things are a lot slower than anticipated as should of moved beginning of October.
So I’m now in limbo, bored, fed up with waiting and frustrated 😏
Can’t wait till I can unpack all my boxes and have space to design, create and make again.
Till then I’m trying to keep boredom at bay with a alpaca fleece 😊.
