Felty (or felted) Friday Flickr Favourites

Not so easy to say at this hour of the morning. Anyway, here are some of my favourites from Flickr. There is an amazing amount of felty talent out there - I love how imaginative people are with felt, and how they use the media to make such a wide range of fantastic things.

Sunday, soggy Sunday

My plans to weed the garden have been thwarted by rain, so I decided to try to be a little bit creative indoors instead. So, I oven-roasted a load of cherry tomatoes from the garden:



They turned into a sweeter version of sun-dried tomatoes, so I'm quite happy with them. Recipes/instructions on the web ranged from cooking them in a hot oven for 15 minutes to cooking in a very cool oven for 8 hours. I went with a coolish oven for about an hour, and then left them in there while the oven cooled.

The other thing I made is this:


It's a larger version of the evil lemon I made last year. He is the sort of lemon that will tie a damsel to a train track and then run off, laughing evilly, as the approach of the 4.12 express can be heard in the distance. He also refuses to help people with bad colds or scurvy. He is the most evil of the citrus fruits, with the possible exception of the Malevolent Mandarin. He will go in my shop, probably the Artfire one, sometime this week.
