The old and the new ...

I made this needle case years and years ago adding synthetic fabric flower petals

to each nuno felted page. It survives today in spite of being attacked by scissors

in the hands of my young son (along with his doonah, pillowcase and a pair of his shorts)

- I should have known better - instead of blessing the rare silence,

I should have been afraid of it and asked myself what he was up to ...   

 I like to make needle cases and pin cushions

Last night I felted the cover of this one to add to my collection.

Pretty pastel needle case

I embellished the fleece with silk fibres, silk fabric strips

and a small amount of opalescent pink fabric.

Champagne pink is such a gentle colour.

Blue Star Nuno Felt Baby Wrap

Here's another baby wrap nuno felted onto white cotton muslin.

 I'm not sure if it reminds me of stars in the sky

 or starfish in the ocean.
