Monster Bag Workshop

Tomorrow I'm teaching a felted monster workshop for the IFA region 10. Although I've taught quite a few bag workshops before this is the first one using my latest methods which incorporates Norwegian needle felt. In preparation I've been spending this week making monster bags, in order to decide on the best shape resist. Here's my favourite, Catherine, I love her hair, but it keeps getting in her eyes so I'm wondering if I should give her a fringe, what do you think?

She's not the prettiest of girls is she, infact she looks a little bit like a man in drag, but don't tell her I said so.

Oops, nearly forgot to post. I was just getting comfy on the sofa, contemplating what crafts to start this evening. Think I'll get my yarn stash out, I've been making some crochet cuffs recently and I've got a bit hooked. Here's some of them, I spent this morning listing them on Etsy, boy that takes a long time!! I hate listing.

The last cuff was inspired by the sea, I took a lot of pictures whilst at Hornsea, and would like to work on a series of felt pictures with a sea theme. Just not sure when I'll get chance, I might have to shelve it until next month. At the moment I'm working on the contents for my new workshops: felt a bag; felt jewellery and felt scarves. Details of dates and venue are available here.
