Barbara,
I am no expert by anyones standard!! But I have formed the flowers on my felt necklace by using a fabric stiffener called ''stiff stuff''
Basically I mixed up 1/2 stiff stuff with 1/2 water and then soaked my felt in it..next I squeezed i...
Thanks for such encouragement.
These are so easy to make...un-believably easy as long as sew beads on very secure as you will know.
What I enjoy best is that all oddments of beads can be used or those tubes of assorted beads that are reasonably pr...

- Many thanks Barbara!
Thats such a great help to me.
Shall go purchase one for myself. I dont actually do needle felting ( as my hands will not allow because of health Rhum Arthur problems) but I do purchase beautifully made 100% wool felt to use.
I was confused as to what shape to make the rose petals, thats why I wanted a patten to use..this mould is perfect!
I have been asked to design a kit which is an honour for me, and I wanted to use an old english tea rose type or cabbage rose.
Only block I have at the moment is how to ''actually assemble'' the rose from seperate pieces. My felt flower necklace ( in my photo's) was made all in one peice just using layers of differing colours.
Any how...many many thanks for you valued friendship Barbara.
Warm wishes from Pam

- Pam, I love your sea-themed pieces - the mermaid & seahorse especially. They really capture the sense of the sea. One of my favorite places - not seen too much in Kansas. LOL!

- Hi Pam,
Glad you like my avatar! I made it by taking an impression from an old ornament I had, then used it as a mould. I made it out of air-dryed clay, then painted it!
Best wishes from the soggy North Wales coast(UK)
Barbara.

- Pam, I am at work, because, I have no computer..........;sorry to go quickly, answers are with ****
--how can I thank you enough?
**It's only the pleasure to give, and the opporunity. I don't need or wait something! I am happy if you are, Pam.
It's not a BIG gift, but "little things from my heart".
I am so very happy with the gift of beautiful fabric I could never buy or find in UK. I shall make some special hearts with these wonderful fabrics to hang on my white wood French style cupboards''Bless You'' for kind thoughts Anne.
**I shall be happy to see a photo of what you will do later.
...for I too believe in magic of the heart/spirit and soul.
**Yes, I beliveve in this and also to the friendship on the Net!
I hope you understand my English ( please ask me to explain if not?)
**No problem!
Thank you for making me so very happy.
**You have a quality: you know to say thanks! And it's enough to me!!

Anneliese Perinic said… - Hallo Pam, thank you for your "autumn words". Yes, self dyed fabric. Once a year I can't help dyeing - the stashes are growing. But it is so calming to produce stock of coloured fabric although I have to become 200 years old to use some of it. The leave is overpainted with goldcolour. It feels somehow elastic, but anyway under the organda it is safe.
