Felt & Orchid

I've added one of my striped felt pieces to my mantlepiece arrangement. I like all the different textures going on here: felt, velvet, linen, ceramic, paper and flowers.

The recent cold snap has been the perfect felt making weather so I've been warming up my hands in the afternoons rubbing lots of brightly coloured wool roving into squares, needle-felting the stripes and then arranging them into small compositions. It's my favourite crafting activity.

I regularly change my arrangement of objects to keep the eyes refreshed.
