So for this week ive been working on embellishing my latest cushion, but this time instead of crocheted flowers ive gone back to needle felting for a different effect.
I love the texture and look of these flowers, and that you can blend your own mix of tones and colours.
I think I may need to add some embroidery to enhance it, which means sewing, but if I call it 'painting with yarn' then maybe I'll find it more enjoyable.
For this weeks mood square, I thought I would try the Linen stitch, ive seen a few quite a few images, and wanted to give it a try. I really like it and think it could be a good possibility for the next cushion background as its a great solid stitch, and easy to do.
Your flowers are so beautiful! Crafting is such a wonderful way to relax isn't it! Hope you still manage to find time xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea to needle felt the flowers on to the cushion cover - they look great. I hope you still find time for a bit of crafting, it's so important to take a break! x
ReplyDeleteThe felted flowers look really lovely on that background.
ReplyDeleteI find needle felting can be quite relaxing - until you prod your finger!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh yes and how painful is it the following day!!
