Witterings from a Creative 

April - Alpacas!

21/5/2017

Once my exhibition work was completed, the show was open, and I was back from having been whisked away to Edinburgh for a surprise birthday weekend.  I could get started with a few more of the commissions that I had had to put on hold for a while.  
One of them was to include Alpacas.  This was from a friend in my knitting group, following a general chat and 'joke' about making furry alpacas for her lampshade, she provided me with a couple of wee bags of fluff.  I can take a hint!
These are the photographs she supplied for me to work from, and the only other thing she asked was if they could be looking over a wall.
So this is what I came up with:  Alpacas, chickens and a wee black cat.  Painted, needlefelted, with hand and machine embroidered details.  I'm pleased (& rather relived) to report that she was delighted with it.
