feltabulous feltabulous pages home felt work jewellery privacy policy and gdpr thursday 30 april 2026 cards so far this year as you know i enjoy making cards so here are some i have made this year above is a stencilled one and i have made this at least three times now with different colour ways it works really well another stencilled one but with the sentiment in a spotlight here it is a bit closer i like to have lots of thank you cards at the ready the stamps linocut mini sampler from clarity crafts are created from the artist s own lino cuts which were shrunk down a collage card inspired by an online course with laly mille called naturalist this was for my colleague at work who enjoys nature entomology etc a new stencil and die combination from an american company the extra tax made this an expensive purchase but i have used it several times so it is worth the money i used a paper pad for the shapes a hyacinth card for my mum in law this was for my sister in law who likes butterflies a card for a friend using the stencil and die combo from america lots of different scraps from paper pads were used here finally for now a card for my nephew and his fiancée using gilding flakes it s so nice to be able to create personalised cards and posting about them here means i have a good back catalogue to refer to posted by ellie foster at 18 36 4 comments labels birthday cards cards collage dies stamps stencils thank you cards sunday 26 april 2026 more mid spring flowers in my previous post i mentioned that the finola tulips at the front of the house had really opened up so here they are you can see that rogue yellow one here s a close up it makes me smile it obviously wanted to be different in the back garden the unnamed fringed tulip has returned again this year much to my delight only two of the eight ronaldo tulips bought last year have put in an appearance but i am pleased to have them my new tulips have been disappointing this year in the back garden lathyrus vernus have been putting on a lovely show tulip danceline which has come back for three years now just this one bulb it s apple blossom time for my little patio james grieve apple the flowers are so pretty magnolia susan is also flowering and on sunny days the flower scent wafts through the garden the lilac tree is also in flower the blueberries are flowering and are a buzz with bees there was a strange coloured sky the other week and a rainbow which i managed to capture i still find them a magical thing to see posted by ellie foster at 15 38 4 comments saturday 18 april 2026 mid april in the garden spring is certainly here and the garden has shifted up a gear above is erythronium pagoda with a beautiful open flower the clematis plants on the arch are looking lovely too alpina frankie and and alpina blue dancer tulips in the border my favourite ballerina with a fresh lemony scent muscari or grape hyacinths always bring me a lot of joy these are the best tulips i bought last year a variety called finola they have opened up more since i took this photo and there is one yellow one amongst the pink but that makes me smile they are at the front of the house so greet us as we come in a very cheering sight the choisya white dazzler is indeed dazzling lots of flowers with a honey scent so pretty posted by ellie foster at 14 42 8 comments labels choisya white dazzler clematis blue dancer clematis frankie erythronium pagoda tulip ballerina tulip finola tulip negrita tulips sunday 12 april 2026 wanderlust 2026 weeks seven to thirteen roots and wings as promised here are the other pages of my art journal course which i particularly enjoyed from the first theme of roots and wings above is a nameless photograph of a member of my dad s side of the family we have a lovely victorian album but absolutely no idea who any of these people were which is really sad the photos were taken in studios in scotland we had to look into our ancestry and choose some art work to turn into stamps i chose ancient celtic symbols carved into rocks we also incorporated some weaving which was fiddly but the end result is very pleasing using vibrant watercolour inks was the next media to use to create a sort of map of challenges and happy things in our practice this week was all about creating a polish style of hanging decoration as i am keeping everything in my journal i translated this to a washing line style of decoration creating our own inks was the next challenge and i used walnut ink and tea for the backgrounds and stamping with the bright yellow turmeric ink for highlights probably my favourite week was the one by alison bomber who i follow on youtube we used a multitude of media for this triptych and i used crackle paste for the first time it was very satisfying once i had got the lid off and chris had to help me with that i added pressed leaves and flowers from the garden which i had collected last year finally this week was a gentle journey into collage and thinking about a safe and happy place so on to the next theme which is paper alchemy should be right up my street posted by ellie foster at 17 19 4 comments labels collage crackle paste mixed media wanderlust 2021 wanderlust 2022 wanderlust 2023 wanderlust 2024 wanderlust 2025 wanderlust 2026 saturday 4 april 2026 happy easter 2026 to those who celebrate happy easter above are some of the cards i made this year i hope they have all got safely to their destinations the seasonal tree in the sitting room is full of easter decorations i enjoy changing these to reflect the seasons months and celebrations another card i made a few variations on this one for my cat loving friends it wouldn t be easter without some treats so i made some butterfly cakes with a couple of cadbury s mini eggs on top storm dave is starting to make his presence felt today here in the uk and it is certainly windy outside enjoy the easter weekend and celebrate new life and renewal despite the weather posted by ellie foster at 23 15 6 comments labels easter easter cards easter eggs tuesday 31 march 2026 more spring flowers at the end of march march came in like a lion and seems to be going out like a lion while we have enjoyed some sunny spring like days it has also been blustery and cold some places have had rain snow and hail to contend with despite the vagaries of our weather tulips are in flower in the borders i think these are all brown sugar from previous years and they do seem to be doing the best out of all the ones i have planted in the borders they have a very strong stem which helps they are also flowering in the north facing border too as i mentioned previously i think my tulips in pots will be disappointing this year but at least i still have these to enjoy the erythronium dog s tooth violet pagoda grows every year and the flowers will soon be open this is a lovely undemanding plant i also noticed the epimedium sulphureum flowering too with its delicate stems of yellow flowers finally for now at the front of the house is this lone narcissus in a pot i am not sure of the variety but it could be a triandrus i love the delicate pale cream lemon colour lots to bring me joy as we move into april posted by ellie foster at 15 23 6 comments labels epimedium x versicolor sulphureum erythronium pagoda narcissus triandrus tulip brown sugar tuesday 24 march 2026 wanderlust 2026 first seven weeks roots and wings the art journal course i have been doing for several years is well underway and the theme was roots and wings it has moved to intermediate skills and slightly away form always being pages in a journal however i am keeping my work in a journal because i don t have space for things to be on display it will be a challenge for some weeks transferring 3d to 2d but that will be fun in itself as last year i won t show every week just the weeks i particularly enjoyed above was week one where we were encouraged to use a big sheet of paper and be free then cut it down i enjoyed making all the swooping brush marks this week was about someone who inspired us so i made a tribute to my granny there are scanned watercolour paintings from when she was at school as well as a watercolour from when she was in australia i have inherited a love of art and nature from her as well as enjoying sewing creating natural dyes was the focus of this week i used walnut ink tea and the bright yellow is turmeric i so enjoy making books and journals too so this week was really right up my street my little book has a pocket to live in we were encouraged to think about our dreams and what we hope for ourselves in the future this is the front with a handmade bird stamp texture paste and a little fabric collage the binding thread is decorated with beads inside the book are pages including stamps material cut outs tracing paper pages and quotes found poetry on the left and a material flap on the right which shows the word dream through a cut out page more stamps a final quote more to come in another post posted by ellie foster at 14 35 6 comments labels collage sewing stamping texture paste wanderlust 2021 wanderlust 2022
