Next to them are two wet felted rocks and a wet felted ball. I have not tried this technique before and was encouraged by a very interesting little felting book bought in the charity shop at the weekend. The purple rock was more successful, the other one not at all but I will take it off the rock and see what I can do with it.
After finding these tutoials I may try felting with the children. Especially the bag one-it looks really easy to do and gets good results.

I love artichokes too
a wonderful memory
of eating them
freshly purchased
at the veggie stall
(really - they are flowers)
baguette in bag
a handsome Frenchman
at my side
in Paris
I had just turned 22...
now the felt balls
look like stones to me...
the whole thing
gorgeous, delightful...
so lovely to visit you,
xox - eb.
oh gosh!
swept away
I was
by this memory
the stones are INSIDE
once opened
will they make
tiny bowls?

Most beautiful vegetables, and these are particularly fine specimens.
Those vegetables look much better than they taste. I like the exotic colors and I like your soft rocks.
If you take the rock out by making a small hole in the felt and blanket stitching around the hole it will make a nice little vessel, or ear ring holder...Your chokes are such a nice colour- we only have green ones.
You always have such interesting projects going on Sarah. I wonder if artichokes make good organic dye for fabrics or felted balls?
I like the wet felting in a bag - I must try that ...... much less mess!! You can also wet felt round polystyrene balls to make ornaments - use a long needle to add string to hang them.
Wow purple articokes!! They are beautiful. I've only run across green ones here in the states.
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie
The color in the artichokes is stunning. I'm not a huge fan of artichokes though I will eat them. Looking at them sounds much more pleasant as I love their lines.
