My room was tidy but is now back to normal, so I won't bother you with my messy desk.
Here are some of the things I have been busy with....
A few kind folk suggested that a peacock would be a good bird to "dumf".
How right you were! I sat watching the snooker one evening and this was the result!!!
I think you will agree it's a couple of hours well spent.
I still don't know how I manage to do it - I have never done anything like it before and don't really know how I transfer an idea into a creation, but it just happens. I dumfed this one with my little Clover punch and a single felting needle.
The little dumfling brooches were made on funday Tuesday. They still need finishing with beads and hand stitching but you get the idea anyway.
I am off to garden at M's today - hence the rush to post this blog.
Have a great day everyone.
Wipso - please can you add me to Mr Linky's list and I will catch up with all your WOYWW fun when I get back.
Fabulous. Simply fabulous. Your peacock is stunning.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I needle felt it doesn't end up looking like that!!!
you are a true artist, Twiglet! Not only how well you make things look like real but also these colours, stunning!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteJo, you asked me last week about my Hand painted Shetland... I spun the hand painted shetland roving in to fat/thin singles to knit the scarf. So your daughter may well be able to do the same to make a cardi. The Shetland feels super soft and is wonderfully warm... even if she made a shawl she'd feel the beauty of the fibre.
The wide scarf I made probably took around 300-400g.

Oh my Twiglet! I'm simply lost for words at that peacock. Am I allowed to hate you just a little bit (in a good way) that you whipped it up while watching snooker? So gorgeous :D
ReplyDeleteWow. I'm speachless! You are so talented! I love your peacock!
