From the painted silk…
To the fleece laid out on the reverse…
through several hours of rolling, rubbing and throwing, to the front of a cushion-to-be.
Now I’ve just got to find all the work I’ve done for this assignment, and get it sent off to my tutor. Weaving next!

Beautiful texture and love the greens!
Ooh, nice!
Can’t wait to see the weaving…
(Have just finished knitting a cushion cover from the yarn you gave me at Christmas)

I am in awe of several hours of rolling and throwing! Well done for finishing, I like the juxtaposition of silk and wool.
I love your cushion cover.I can see the influences of the colours of Tiree there! Gorgeous sea and beach tones. Hope you enjoy the weaving assignment. I found it a bit of a challenge, but enjoyed it in the end.
great colors and textures! now on to weaving 🙂
I LOVE what you have done…inspires me!
Thanks for your comment! Beautiful cushion front, looks like a lot of hard work.
The warp I used for weaving was a thick cotton (I got it from a course at stirling castle, but I think it is orginally from fibrecrafts) and the wefts (of different thicknesses!) are axminster rug wool from texere. You have been warned 😉
Several hours of rolling ! No one realises just how much work feltmaking is.
Lovely work.
Just so heart-achingly gorgeous. I would love to make something this beautiful.
A cushion? Did I just realize you said – a cushion? Puh-leeze, no! This is a work of art and really should be hung on a wall. I mean, obviously it is your business, not mine, or anyone else’s. But, really – it is too, too precious to be relegated to cushion status. 🙂
