Blue BFL

As I mentioned there were three "exhibits" in my demonstration and here is the second one!



Very blue BFL(Bluefaced Leicester), some merino of matching colours and a lot of decorative fibres - viscose, silk squares, yarn, curls...



And here is a red scarf from a previous post as a collar with a brooch:



I really like it!

Red Scarf

Last week I did a demonstration on ruffle scarves for our York Felters Group. To get ready I've made quite a few in advance just to show variety of wool and effects. The most of these scarves are quite short because I've tried to make them in limited time - 3-4 hours, the time of our monthly meeting. Just to be sure that I can finish it or at least come to the final stage of fulling by the end on the meeting.

This is the one of three, merino 18.5 mic.





Being so short it's more a collar than a scarf actually, so it could be worn as a decorative collar (thanks Jean for a great idea) with a nice brooch. Something like this but I need to make a brooch yet...

We are in December now and I still have some flowers in my garden. Rudbeckias are the bravest and the brightest! I can't resist I "painted" them again, and it's not the end of affair!

Christmas tree

It's time for Christmas trees!

Sunflowers at last!

I've made quite a few items with images of sunflowers but was never happy with the result. This tea cosy seems OK so!

The last picture is of the tea cosy with a teapot inside!

Snowy Tulips

The tulip is a new flower in my "watercolour" experience nad it shows I'm afraid! I definetely need more practice. And still it's lovely flower with a strong architectural feel about it.

The blue colour is a bit strange considering tulips I agree, but blue/white combination is so beautiful!





It's a Kindle case by the way...

Deep Night Blue Scarf

I buy the most of my wool from internet suppliers. With all the positive points there is at least one disadvantage - you can't see the real colour. It could be a problem if you want to find wool matching the silk fabric. I've got it wrong at least twice! Fortunately this time I was lucky, the wool and scarf complement each other nicely, as you can see on the last picture.

Pictures are not great, I am afraid, I can't do dark colours properly...
