This felt has appeared before.
Its mellow palette was inspired by the interior of Charleston Farmhouse Sussex which we visited just before this time last year.
I had been thinking about what to do with it and recently I got down to it and produced a whole pile of little pieces as is my wont....which I then stitched to a background.
Near to it was ok, but from a distance....
too confusing.
So I made a nice neutral piece of felt, got out my un-picker and re-positioned the pieces.
I am really quite delighted with the outcome.
Thought I'd share.
It looks sort of Heraldic
Well....anyway..there it is.
This exact time last year we were in Symi...ahh Symi...Blue...hot....delicious..sea swimmy Symi.
However funds this year did not stretch to that bit of heaven so as I felt the need to be on an Island we went last Sunday to Anglesey in order to walk to Llanddwyn Island. Bu all accounts a very special place. However when we arrived after a 2 and a half hour drive we found there was a dog ban between 1st May and 30th September, so we were confined to this beach..which was very nice but not Llanddwyn.
(See the kite surfers? It was windy.)
And definitely not Symi.
I liked this though.

Love your "heraldic" piece!
Jackie, wonderful move :)
What a lovely piece, worth the trouble of all the unpicking! I have just caught up on your last post as well. You have been very busy. Who says you won't be around for the next Guild celebration? You will only be a youthful octogenarian by then! Cheers

the "reborn" is quite magical!
Such a stunning piece!!! SO sorry you were confined to your beach but you could not leave your little girl alone!!!! Stunning work as always!! Hugs!
It's amazing how different it looks on a neutral background, definitely worth the extra work. Really beautiful. Looking at your beach photos - I think there's something special about a cool day in autumn and a deserted beach. (better than overcrowding on the one hot day of the year) sarah
What a beautiful piece youe are soooo talented.
I loved the original but can see that it does look even better on the neutral background - clever you for knowing what was needed.
That beach looks so inviting and why are a few rocks, pebbles, a bit of seeweed and a feather so beautiful? But they are. Love to Hetty.
Gorgeous! Gorgeous! This piece is absolutely breathtaking!!! Beautiful work, as always!!
Gorgeous work! So unusual :)
Yet another stunning piece of work! Gorgeous, it could look at it for ages.
Really, really, beautiful! gr.

oh WoW! Absolutely stunning!!!!!!
What a fabulous piece of work, well done for unpicking and redoing it!!
The unpicker tool is an unsung hero - couldn't manage without it!
You were absolutely right to re-do that piece and it looks terrific.
Beaches are inspiring and wonderful places, no matter where they are in the world - love 'em.
beautiful piece Jackie. I have a book you would love....Bloomsbury Rooms...about the Bloomsbury Group and Charleston.

Wonderful piece of work!
This reminds me of a piece of Jacobean crewel work. It is lovely. I enjoy your blog when I pop by from time to time and love the way you use the felt.
Charleston Farmhouse is a very inspiring place, isn't it?

Piękna inspiracja i wykonanie.
Your work is stunning! I do wish I was close enough to learn from you, you are the master - or should that be Mistress - of your craft. Thank you for sharing your work,
This picture looks like your delightful brooches.
