Last week was the Sandringham Art, Craft and Sculpture show .
There was so much to see and do but I was looking for the real craft workers.
It seems a common thread that at many of these larger shows there is a majority of bought in goods, they may be pretty but they are not handmade.
I found some really lovely stalls though and was especially interested in the felting demos.
Creative Bumble Bee has workshops and demos throughout the country

I bought some lovely merino tops from her.
Two lovely ladies had a stall between them and one was using her felting machine. They had lots of lovely bags for sale and some amazing hand dyed rovings.
This is the pack I bought ~~~What gorgeous colours!
My embellishing machine has arrived, so I have been playing with the rovings.
This is the reverse side of the piece I had neeedlefelted, I liked it better than the front.
I'm adding more texture and colour, this is where I am now.....
