This is the first completed apple for my tree (scroll down to WOYWW) - I have made 6 others but they don't have the stalks on yet. there are leaves to be made too. For an apple it makes a good cherry don't you think? hehe It's made from felt including the stalk, well for those into felting I feel I have to say the outside layer is some synthetic fibre which you can't wet felt but you can needle-felt it (needle felt, needlefelt needle-felt - take your pick).I think the apple is fine but not sure about the placement of them on the tree as I may not actually make any mor so think the placement will be important as there will be so few.
I thought I'd take this opportunity to show you a felt vessel I'm making. I did this in the early hours of the morning as I couldn't sleep, the only bit I've done today is the stitching on the rolled edge. I think I finally dropped off about 6am! only to be woken by someone knocking on the d**n door at 8am grrrrr! I've stuffed it with paper to help shape it. It needs a bit of embellishment yet.
If you don't understand the title but would like to know what I'm on about look
