I rarely sign up for giveaways but the nuno felting book looked like something I needed on my desk so I gave it a go and I won.
I have had a bit of a read (yes I read some words) and checked out the step by step instructions and this is a good book, with clear detailed instructions. The photos are as good as I have seen in any book. I would definately have been happy to buy this and am looking forward to getting out to the studio and making felt again. I have the supplies ready and waiting ;)
Life has been manic the past few weeks and I have doing a good impersonation of a headless chicken but I decided to give myself a day off on Sunday.
I have been meaning to make one of these for years and finally did it. It was a bit of a fiddle starting the coil, but after that it was quick and easy. The tortuous part was wrapping the cord with the fabric. I used a piece of hand dyed that I wasn't happy with because I was sure I wouldn't be able to do it, but I am quite proud of my first go. I have a second on the way with slightly more interesting fabric. Watch this space. I bought 88 metres of cord on Monday (that's all Dunhelm had left) so should be able to make one or two more :):)
The second bowl is another first, and may become a 2 hour Friday fun workshop at
stitchcraft Because they book far in advance I used christmas fabric - eek!! I do appologise for this, it is only March...

Congrats!!!! love the blue bowl in particular.
Congratulations on your win :-) I like the coiled bowl and might be tempted to have a go at one and the new bowl is very pretty. I shall have to forgive you the 'C' word.
