Great Scott!

Great to return to the studio after a long weekend spent fund raising for charity.

I've made this little felt scotty dog brooch today and attached it to a 'Great Scott!' greeting card for my grandma's 90th birthday.

Needle Felting for Beginners

This evening I tutored a needle felting workshop with a group of ladies at my local sewing group.
After showing everyone examples of my needle felt work, the ladies were soon inspired to create their own lovely pieces.

All being new to the craft of needle felting, the ladies first gained confidence with techniques used to make simple 2d shapes. We used layers of soft Merino wool and attached them onto flat felt using the special barbed needles.

We then moved onto creating 3d forms using handy templates that can be found in most kitchens - yes pastry cutters. Hearts and teddy bears were the favourite choices! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed learning a new craft and are eager to have another session soon.

Art in the Park!

Today I cycled over to Campbell Park for the Art in the Park Festival hosted by Milton Keynes Islamic Arts Heritage and Culture. 

Tile making, calligraphy and geometry workshops were in full swing in the marquee while live Islamic tunes played on stage and whafts of healthy delicacies filled the air!

My geometry art

I took part in a geometry workshop 'Art of Design, Persian Illuminations (tazhib)' held by artist and art therapist, Mojgan Lisar. The process of tracing the Tazhib design and delicately filling in sections with watercolour was really relaxing. The only decision required was the choice of colour combination!

In Persian Illuminations, these small designs are repeated make beautifully intricate
and symmetrical octagram art.
