So lovely to be here on BlueSky! For my first post, here’s some #fungi I’ve needle felted. All formed from soft, fluffy wool fibres which I’ve repeatedly poked with a needle (hundreds of times) trying to recreate the unique shape & details of these incredible species.
Hope you like them☺️

Lighting up the hedgerow, a spectacular crop of haws on this Hawthorn bush for the #fruits challenge. I do love these, not only are they a glorious candy red but I always think they resemble perfect teeny toffee apples! 🍎😀
#Wildflowerhour

The glorious red fruits of the Hawthorn look even more spectacular when en masse. Each haw is a beautiful candy red and I always think they look like perfect teeny toffee apples! 🍎

A needle-felted Peacock Butterfly displayed in a rustic wood frame. The butterfly has been lovingly created from fluffy wool fibres and painstakingly shaped over many hours by repeatedly stabbing with a needle.

Possibly, anyway I think I’m better off without them!

Lazy Sunday of #botany. Making #herbarium #specimens and watching the West Wing. At least until the power goes out with this storm.

Gotta get ready for spring craft fair season. And I need to get these all listed on my #etsy but I don't wanna...

A table worth a stack of pressed plants waiting to be mounted. In the foreground are two mounts: Mertensia virginica and Polypodium formosanum.

In the background sits a copy of the Plants of Pennsylvania as a weight on a stack of cardboard spacers.

Gosh Sarah, that’s awful, I’m so sorry that’s happened to you! I think you’re right, I’m glad (now) they cancelled too, they probably wouldn’t have been satisfied. Thanks for sharing your experience 🤗

Nature Felts @fungifelted.bsky.social · Mar 29

Thank you so much Quinn. I was very upset about it but I’ve had a couple of weeks to reflect and I now think I’ve had a lucky escape!

Nature Felts @fungifelted.bsky.social · Mar 29

The photos the person was referring to were a customers review photos. I did explain that needle felts were very tricky to photograph but their mind was set unfortunately. I had started on it but I can use what I’ve made in something else. Thankfully I think I’ve escaped a very tricky person 😉☺️

I was really upset about it, feeling more positive now & actually feeling like I’ve dodged a bullet.

My little shop will be closing for a few weeks on the 31st of March, so I can spend some time making new creations and work on some commissions 🥰

Wildflowers found on a woodland walk near Bedford for today’s #WildflowerHour: early dog-violets (Viola reichenbachiana), wild primroses (Primula vulgaris), #WoodAnemone (Anemone nemorosa), and purple and white sweet violets (Viola odorata). #nature

This collage displays various wildflowers including: top left, early dog-violets with delicate purple petals. Top right, primroses with light yellow petals clustered in green foliage. Middle left, white wood anemones with yellow centers. Middle right, purple sweet violets in close-up. Bottom left, another cluster of White Wood Anemones. Bottom right, white sweet violets growing among green leaves. The images highlight the vibrant yet soft colors and details of these early spring blooms.
