Ring a day, day 2

Today's ring is this felt flower.  I have had some bits of wool in a drawer for ages, given to me by a friend after a workshop.  I made this in two stages.  Firstly I wet felted the whole thing then, as I wasn't quite happy with the result, I needle felted at the junction between the main part of the flower and the loop of the ring to strengthen it.  I then had another go at wet felting it.  I am quite happy with the result and it was a bit of fun this morning before I began my more usual work in art clay silver.

More lovely vivid work

These pieces are by my good friend Margaret Hopley. They are currently being exhibited at the North York Moors National Park Office, Moors Centre, Danby, North Yorkshire. The exhibition runs until 5th October. As you can see she works in a wide variety of media. These images are a leaded glass and a mosaic panel, part of a large framed felt panel and a panel in enamel on copper. What beautiful vivid colours they are.

Exhibition at the North Yorkshire Moors Centre, Danby

My friend Margaret Hopley and I are exhibiting (and hopefully selling) work at the North Yorkshire Moors Centre, Danby until the 4th October. Today was our first day and it took us until around 2pm just to set up.

It does look lovely now it is all set up though, I hope you agree?

I am showing some enamel panels and a selection of pieces of jewellery and Margaret has enamel panels, felt, stained glass and mosaics. The pictures below are some of Margaret's and you can see just how much she loves colour.
