CREATE every day.
There was more work in the felt banner department this week:
It appears that my Pilates instructor is correct about my posture. From the position of the word ‘open’, I tend to lean to the right. Next time I’ll have to lay down a yard stick to keep my bottom edge aligned.
The words are felted on the front and back of the same piece of felt. I think I need to work on making this sign a little more compact if it is going to hang in a shop window, in the meantime I’ll hang it on my studio door.
Carrie has been dreaming of a large box to hold her son’s blocks and wooden beads, but her hands are a little busy right now, so I took a stab at my largest felt box yet.
I started with a really large piece of felt using Harrisville Designs roving in chianti, rose and poppy for the first layer and marigold for the second layer. These colors really sang as soon as they came together.
The small box with horizontal bands of color measures 4″ x 7″ and 6″ tall, a little smaller than my standard box. The larger box with three equal vertical stripes measures 9″ x 7″ and 10″ tall without the edge folded over.
