Many Hands Make Light Work

It is so true.  Many hands do make light work.  In just 4 days the children designed, laid out the wool, and completely felted 10 felt panels - each panel measured at least a metre square.  All through the proces they chatted, told stories, sang songs, and were generally just amazing to be with.

The idea for this panel was to capture the colours and shapes of a walk through the woods at springtime.

This piece is an idea of lots of snails - a repeating pattern of snails perhaps?  quite impressionistic.  The shiny fiber is bamboo.

Will be a while before the felt panels are hung as school's out for summer!
