Curly and Veronica...

Well I went to the British Craft Trade Fair, I whizzed around in an hour and made it back in time to finish a few more monster pincushions and tidy up in preparation for some when felting tonight before heading off on the school run.

There was some fantastic stuff at the fair, it's not open to the public as it's a trade fair, but I wanted to have a look around as I'm thinking of exhibiting next year. I went last year as I'd managed to get my hands on an invite and was surprised to see quite a lot of felt, this year there wasn't as much, I'm wondering whether the felters didn't do so well last year so gave it a miss this year. Felting is time consuming so the finished articles aren't cheap! There was no one there doing work similar to mine, which is good. There was an awful lot of jewellery and glass work, if you're a jewellery designer it must be hard to stand out from the crowd. I also checked out the way people displayed their work which is often just as important as your work for grabbing peoples attention.

Anyway here's the new monsters....(as you can see I had a bit of fun with the photo shoot)...

Curly's just been caught bouncing on the bed.
