Knitted bag - felted squares

This is knit in one piece, comprising 52 squares. I used 100% chunky felting wool (10 balls) and have lined it in spotty cotton fabric. The second photo was before felting - the size has been reduced by about 30%

 

Teasel collage

It was a spectacular year in the garden for teasels, and the goldfinches have returned en masse (think that's due to the bird feeders and not the teasels!). The background is blue acrylic paint and scrunched cling film. The teasel heads started as glossy paper ovals, with the edges cut into spikes, then over-painted with lines to give texture. Finally the stems were painted on. I practised drawing and colouring goldfinches before I finally decided to paint just two birds, directly onto the teasels. I've also done a postcard sized picture, ready for our art exhibition later this year.

Fused glass panels

I had 2 super days at the Stained Glass Centre, each time working on a 12" square glass panel. The above photos show: cut glass pieces on my design, next with added fritz and stringers, finally fired and framed. The colours changed and the fritz didn't blend as I'd expected.
Below - poppies. Sadly no red glass available and the colours darkened after firing. I intended framing them as separate pictures, but in the end I used a matching box frame to the iris. Ideally, they should have been framed on top of the glass, so you can feel the texture, but the cost of glass adhesive was prohibitive.
