Unite.....Inspire .....Create.....

This week at the Caloundra Regional Gallery is a exhibition of works from the Caloundra Arts Centre Association.........it starts today until the 14 March.......there will also Artist demonstrations throughout the week....I'm going to be there tomorrow with Liz from the Textile group.....Liz will be showing her felted flowers that we made on Monday at our get together........following are photos of the process.....

First time I have used butter muslin for the base

Covered with some wool

This is Margaret's nice soft colours

This is Junee's strong and vibarent

This is Liz's bright base with soft coloured wool on top

At the top is Barb's and Molly's in front

I added some white silk to mine and this is when it had
been felted but still wet

Here is my flower and I'm going to make a note book
cover with the remaining felt......

The group got together on Sunday to make a scarf as a prize for the raffle at the gallery

The scarf is made from white wool...blue silk and silver thread.....

We were all so pleased how well it looked after it had dried.....


I have not done a lot of felting...making the flowers with Liz was the forth time I have felted anything.......last year I made a scarf and it was selected for the Unite, Inspire and Create display at the Gallery......

who would have thought......I'm happy....I will be at the Gallery from 10am - 1pm .....come in a say hello and have a look...there are about 100 pieces on display......
