Today we were weaving on home-made looms (wooden frames you can pick up in pound shops) with my extensive wool and yarn collection, some of it free-cycled, some of it belonged to my gran and the rest I have picked up over the years. Eight of us descended on Bianca's place for a creative afternoon.
This was the proudly completed beautiful weaving creation made by Gaia. Amazed how into this we all got. So after I left you guys stayed there till midnight to finish your weaving? Mad...
This is our first official crafty gathering. Hurray! We did start a couple of weeks back with some crochet, but sadly there was no photographic evidence. Today we were needle felting, making some 2-D work. The felt (or fleece) that we were using comes in amazingly vibrant colors...we are all drawn towards different ones. We were needle felting onto pieces of felt that you can pick up in haberdasheries.
You can also needle felt any kind of wool onto the same piece, it doesn't have to be all fleece. All of our designs turned out very differently.
