The lovely Kilmartin goes 3d







Saturdays workshop at Kilmartin House Museum was a day of fun and laughter and great relaxed creativity. A big mix of ages and abilities provided a wonderful range of ideas and view points.Those that tried the 3d needle felting made very individual creatures with cheeky personalities. Apologies to the highland cow who appears here without his 'alpaca coat' but even in his nakedness he is very beautiful. He enjoyed the company of his cheeky sheep friend.
Trees created from bark and the lovely lichen which coats the limbs of bare trees in the glen like some ghostly echo showing the purity of the air in Kilmartin Glen.
Thanks to all the lovely students who shared their skills and their presence ( lets not forget about the good food too )Any other photos would also be appreciated.

Joyful Embellishing










Spring is defiantly raising the ground in the form of new slips of life in snowdrops and slivers of potential daffodils.
Heartfelt Studio has been very busy organising lots of workshops up and down the country.
Travelling in our beautiful countryside at this time of the year is inspiring in ideas of form and colour. The longer evenings have allowed the last vestiges of light to be used to their full potential This weekend was a delightful workshop with many new felting friends on advancing with Needle Embellishing.
There was a great diversity of work and as usual, with the way I like to allow student to journey on their learning , many variable ideas were tried and learning given and received by all.
Some of the photos show some of the great directions people went in.
