I've been busy with a variety of techniques this week. It's good to be able to swap between projects, but unfortunately this means the kitchen table is always covered with disconnected piles of thread, wool and material.
The dragon mobile did get finished, however. It was hard to get a photo of the whole thing, especially as it kept spinning round, but here is a rather thoughtful dragon, and a star in the background. The dragons are needle-felted over polystyrene balls to give them a nice fat belly. The stars were sewn from fleece and glittery felt, with just a tiny bit of stuffing to pad them out.
Here's another crochet animal, of undetermined species because a lack of wool meant I had to make some adjustments to the pattern. These are very quick to whip up, and I'm thinking of adapting the pattern to make some sort of fantastic beast. This should use up some of the glittery wool I've been hoarding!
Finally, the orange quilt is all pieced together now, and I've started on the applique. The gear wheels were painstakingly cut from wool felt, and now I'm hand-sewing them into place with tiny stitches. Going round all the little cogs is requiring bucket loads of patience!
