I am done

Now I have finally finished my entry to juniforms exhibition and lottery. This is what I started out with.... Some wool in white, grey and red. Some vintage lace, a vintage table cloth and red glass pearls.

......and this is the finished result.

It`s a pair of wristwarmers made in wet felted white wool, decorated with needle felting in grey and red. The old tablecloth became a little application and I finished it all of with a frill of vintage lace decorated with red glass beads. I was going for a christmassy folkloric touch. Sort of!

And do you know what?

This evening I recived a winning of my very own. Anna at Helylle came by and gave me the beautiful handspun yarn that I won in her lottery. It`s in an amazing emerald color! So beautiful! I was so taken by surprice, her suddenly standing there at my doorstep in the rain that I didn`t even invite her in! Now am I a lousy blogfriend or what? All I could think of was that I looked like something my cats had dragged in ....and what would she think of me.... Silly isn`t it! But hey thats me! I am a silly kind of gal! But I will make it up to her I promise! I have long going plans on luring her over in the false pretence of a meal and a chat and I won`t let go of her until she has teached me to spin too!

How come I think that it would send her running in the opposite direction?

Anyway, thank you so much Anna! I loved it! I think I will use it in a wet felting.... or try needle felting with it....or....

Take care

Jeanette

And Anna, I am not usually that impolite....
