What do you get if you cross these:
with a pool noodle, some bubble wrap, washing up liquid, vinegar, hot water, a pair of knee-high tights, a rolling pin and a towel? (No, it's not a joke!)
This!!!! (and my new obsession ;-)

I love the purples.

Then I made a snowdrop one using Prussian blue, with some white Merino for the snowdrops and decorated with grey merino and some silk top highlighting
I made this one for mum's 70th birthday (it was the second one ever that I made). I added some beads to create a feather look

Have a fabulous weekend!
