It’s taking shape…
So I weaved some willow hoops, I used up all the sticks I’d soaked and ended up making three.
(Probably should have soaked the sticks for longer but I was soaking them in the bath and the youngest needed a shower!)
It was time to start attaching the felted sheep and clouds.
Sheep and clouds went onto the larger hoop first.
Then I attached the two hoops together ( this was the tricky part- balanced and level being hard to achieve) .
The stars threaded easily onto the invisible thread. In the last post I wrote about being unable to thread them with the ribbon, must have been the finer needle I was able to use, and attached two to the upper, smaller hoop.
The sheep, clouds and stars are now on three levels. Not my original intention but it makes sense right?
I’d made three stars but I think it will have to be two or four now to achieve balance…?
It’s something I’ll come back to, sometimes you need to step away from a project and come back with fresh eyes.
I also need to obviously trim the ribbons and neaten it up that way, in case your thinking “she’s left it a bit messy looking”.. but will leave that to the very end.
Anyone else out there making a mobile? How’s it going for you?
I’ll keep you posted guys…
Thanks for reading! x
