Secret Santa

So how did my secret Santa turn out? (see 18th November 2007 post)
Well here it is.

And this is it as a wall hanging.

Sorry about the shots - taken with a mobile. I AM getting a new one soon.

So, I carded the tiny pieces of waste felt into to the de-dagged wenslydale (Which had felted together so much, that I had to cut any bits I could find off!) Then spun then to make the slubby pink and green yarns. These, I then crocheted these into corals and urchins.

I felted small scraps of red and green fibre that were caught up in the fleece, to make small seaweeds.

I used the hula-hoop loom to weave bits of green felt into an anemone, finishing off the edge with big, pink fleshy lips.

Used other pieces of pink felt to make a cluster of mushroom-style corals.

Scrunched a large piece of wendslydale into a woolly coral.

And then sewed them all to an old car sponge.

I'm happy to say that Elaine got my  little reef at the gift giving and she's going to put it up in here Bangor fibre shop, Muse.
