This is closer to the real colour, I scanned these with my scanner.
I've also been making some resin elements to add to jewellery.
This one has an ad for a movie from a very old newspaper. I've added coloured thread and some solder balls to the resin. I want to incorporate one of my very old small light globes into the necklace to follow the theme of Edison.
Artist Sophie Munns is calling for people to create a post card for Open Studio Week in the Brisbane botanical gardens Queensland in July. The theme is paying 'homage to the seed'. The invitation is here. I think the only thing you need to be aware of is not to send actual seeds or vegetation as our quarantine laws are very strict. This looks like a wonderful project. Sophie has some beautiful art on all of her blogs.
On Saturday I had eight wonderful students attend my Vintage canvas workshop. I love teaching and seeing the beautiful creations evolve. The art produced by everyone was amazing as you'll see in the following slide show. I remembered to take photos of their work this time. They all certainly excelled.

Those felt circles are gorgeous!
Ro the felt pieces have photographed well, they look as good as they do in reality. The resin pieces have turned out well too. Your class resulted in fabulous work.
Lovely looking work Ro. From the glorious brights of your felt work to the earthy neutrals of your student's pieces.
Your needle felt circles are stunning - such gorgeous rich colours. The resin elements are great too. You had some very talented ladies in the Vintage Canvas workshop - everyone's work is amazing.
Hi, love the felted circles and the great way of stitching them onto leather, they are stunning!
I've just had a go at dry felting, using a scoure wah-up sponge and a felting needle with ready dyed merino wool tops. So far I've made a bright pink heart and a leaf. When I take the work off the sponge, one side is fluffy though, not flat.

Your elements look great - the felt circles are very "YOU"! Look forward to seeing them incorporated into something amazing.You are a good teacher which is reflected in the work from your students.
Love your felt pods. Maybe you can watch the birds and poke your felt, that might be better than watching more TV;-)
That slide show makes me want to slide on over and attend your class!
All of your students canvases are fantastic.
Your felt circles look like they are so much fun to create, they will look fabulous incorporated into your jewellery.
Oh wow Ro, love those felted brooches. Also love your vintage canvas slide show and wish I lived nearer to you so I could come along to one of your days
Have a good week

That's a fantastic way to view what your class got up to... and it looks like a fabulous group.
