I will post more in the coming weeks, as others finish up work and other workshops are completed. Thank you again to those who allow me to boss you around for a short while and hopefully help you feel that happy glow when you leave with a lovely creation of your own hand!

This looks like it was a really good workshop. Wish I lived closer! I run a craft group at my son's school and we want to make some playscapes. I was wondering how you get your trees so stable. Is it just pipe cleaners or a stronger wire? Also is the wool you use for these romney or something else.
Hey Pam, always lovely to hear from you, thanks for reading! I do have a playscape wet felting mat tutorial back from last summer if you take a look. It may be helpful, the tree's are mainly wrapped in piecleaners/chenille stems since they grab the fibres better than wire, after felting like crazy around them, they become very stable and are secure only with a felting needle. The wool is a mixture of romney and the wrapped trees work pretty well with the longer staples of merino blends too. I like the harrisville wool for the shrubbery and stones as it seems to have more texture to it. Hope that's helpful!
