Today the weather has been lovely, busy at Farmers' Market this morning, (Don't sell )but help run it, set up tables and chairs, get coffee lounge ready, help stall holders, quite a quite morning, normally is the day after a bank holiday. Then home to my garden.I think Spring has finally arrived. I know Celedine are weeds but they are a real harbinger of spring and so beautiful.




I have redone my fish for the pond, pleased with it.



Prize plant in garden at the moment is the black Helbores

I have just added some flicker pictures, (of work done over the last few years)
to my Blog, quite pleased with myself, I am learning lots as I set this sight up.

The piece the one a prize was called fantastagoricale Pods, it is quite big, the orange seeds are tennis balls covered in felt the whole thing was made using Piku wool, which comes in marvelous colours and felts a dream.



This is the drawing before I started on the piece, it is based on Iris foetidissima, having looked at the seed head, I realised it would be easier to have the felt pods haning rather than standing up, easier to display.

There are five pods altogether.

First Entry

I am working on a 3 dimensional piece of felt for an exhibition in a garden, Floral Art in the Garden, at Broad View Gardens, Hadlow the week end of June 11th, and I know how quickly that will be here.My piece is loosely based on Crewel embroidery, carnivorous plants and a lot more.I was asked to take part after a piece of my work won a prize and was then shown in a garden setting.
