Goodies from Carolyn Saxby and felted fish scene !

Hello All,

Have been busy this week felting, I have been using the wet felting technique and also needle felting finer points on my work.  I have been making mini pictures which will be attached to a card, this will then be a card and gift in one!

I have completed my first one !

I have used merino wools and sari silks, with metallic beading.  I bought some lovely silks from Carolyn Saxby, and she kindly threw in a few extras, thanks Carolyn.

Well, best get back to trying to complete the rest I have on the go!

Card is now for sale in my etsy shop.
