Needlefelt Challenge "Blue"

Finally I did my first piece for the Needlefelt Challenge. The theme is "Blue".
It´s an experiment with various "techniques". It´s been fun to play and learn a few things. First thing is that working like this I have to chose colours with more contrast. In reality the different hues and tones of blue look good, but after being felted they all look a bit pale. On the photo it is almost impossible to see that there have been 4 different sorts of blue used in this piece.
Nothing very fancy, but a good sampler to learn from.

Karin, this is just what the challenge is all about. Well done. Did you use a backing? Did the colour of that influence the final result? I really like this sample. Thanks for taking part

Hi Karin, love the colours in this. I agree about the different shades of blue not showing up, thats why I added hand stitching to mine. Thanks for visiting & your comment.
