Felting Vessels

June 14th was a "fun day" at Shirley's.
The weather was beautiful and we went to work on Shirley's deck, surrounded by her beautiful gardens.

Joy taught us how to make little felted vessels, by wrapping fibre around plastic disks and wetting it with soap and water and then rubbing, rubbing, smoothing, rubbing some more - until it felted.

Some of us were more succesful than others at this.

 Kim and Cindy made 2 vases each, while Mara and Shirley managed to create floppy fish.

Wendy turned her attempt into little fringed pots.
