felted horns

Following Gladys Paulus ' workshop I really got keen on felting horns,My grandaughter wanted large sheep horns goodness knows why.I sewed them onto a headband but they are so big they are difficult to wear.
then it was a unicorn for my daughter.
A cow horn hat and oxen horns which are of to Australia.

Masks with Gladys Paulus

Here are some of the fantastic masks that the students made.


workshop with Gladys Paulus 1

This was a brilliant workshop,Gladys is a well organised talented caring tutor.She started by telling us where we needed to be by the end of each of the 5 days.I found this a great help.The days started with her showing us how to proceed to the next stage.We were making 3D masks to our own design. I had decided to make a Griffon as they  are mythical creatures so no one would know
what it was supposed to look like! Gladys lending a helping hand with  someones dragon.

Mine didn't have horns but it was great seeing how to make them.
you do have to ensure that both sides of the mask are symmetrical.Not my strong point but we were shown how to  keep things in the right place by using a pin.
