Yes, dear readers I have now officially made three of these floral hot pads which given my long list of projects in waiting must mean that this is just too much fun! Or it may just mean that I couldn't bear the thought of only presenting those gray versions from yesterday that I just didn't care for 100%. BUT when I realized that this might just be fantastic felted, so I broke out the vintage 70's wool from my mother's stash and got to work. And I have to say, I like this one the best of all, not just the colors, but the way in which the color changes enhance the design. In this version, I used the dark orange for the center and the first two rows, switched to the light orange for three rows, and then back to the dark orange for the final two rows. See my original post here, and do take careful note of my additions if you'd like yours to look like mine!
And just for fun, here's a photo of the wool I used. Anyone from California remember Kress? Can you believe the wool only cost $1.09?
And now, if you'll excuse me I'm off to throw this creation into a hot load of laundry once or twice and then into the dryer to seal the deal (the felting that is!) Can't wait to see the results! See ya soon!
I'm sharing this project over at funkyjunkinteriors linking party.
