Welcome!

Colour and Texture - Whether flowers, knitting, felting, crochet or home making, these are the essentials of my life. I hope you enjoy them too.

A crazy felt hat

This hat combines my two loves - sculptural felting and crazy vegetation.  I claim it is based on a Roman gladiator's helmet that has been left to rust, and the flowers and vines have grown up through it.  Obviously a figment of my imagination, this hat won the "Felted Garment" award at Wangaratta's 2011 Stitched Up Festival.  Now all I need is an appropriate occasion to wear it......  can't imagine what that will be!
