On Tuesday I gave the Machine Knitted Felt Landscape/Seascape workshop to West Country Embroiderers, Torbay branch, which is the group that I attend. They are a great bunch of ladies and there was a great deal of laughter.
The images shown are all work in progress and still have a lot of embroidery and embellishment to be added. Two of the ladies had previously been on a wet felting workshop and had brought in some of the felt which they had made. They very bravely cut it, then added Machine Knitted Felt to make their seascapes (Images 1 and 2) and finally started to add embroidery and embellishments.
Another lady brought in some hand knitting to incorporate into her seascape (Image 2).
It is amazing how the landscapes and seascapes can vary so much when the ladies have received the same information but have used different textiles in so many different ways. It is always a joy to see how pictures are transformed over the day from a huge pile of fabrics on the desk to a fantastic piece of art. At our Christmas party I will see the end results, I cannot wait!
