Hydsville Tower School Workshop cont...

Goood morning lovely makers creators and all round lovely people, today I thought I would share some more of the amazing works by year 8 pupils at Hydsville Tower School, Hydsville is based in Walsall and is a privately run school which means that this particular school invest heavily in each pupils growth and development.

Their committment to their pupils means that that often use outside resources like mine to give their pupils a varied and enriching programme.

This is the 3rd felt making day I have been asked to run here and there are more scheduled for later in the year.

The pupils are a delight to teach and what I love about teaching any child is the fact that they don't overthink the process they just go with it and produce the most amazing results, but don't take my word for it, see from the examples below.

But for now keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep felting!

Newbie Felt Makers make their debut at Tigerlily Towers...

Goooooood Tuesday Morning lovely makers, creators and all round lovely people, well today I thought I would share some of the wonderful new makes from Saturdays Bag/Tea Cosy course at Tigerlily Towers.

It was a brilliant day we started at around 10.30 am with a nice cuppa to get us going, we talked through first stages with a biscuit or two! and before we knew where we were it was time for lunch! after a short break and refueling, we carried on into the afternoon where we drank more tea and ate lovely cake. By 4pm we were in final stages making handles for our bags. We laughed, chatted, learnt new skils and had lots of fun.

So really theres only one thing more left to do and thats share the lovely ladies makes with you... enjoy!

Ita's Lovely Bag Ita is a first Time Felt Maker

Edith's gorgeous Tea Cosy, Edith is also a First Time Felt Maker

Edith's day job is as a business consultant so very different from her crafty alter ego!

 

 

 Marisa's Gorgeous Spring Time Bag and Marisa is a First Time Felter too!

Liane's Bag, Liane has felted at home herself before coming on the course... but felt that the course would give her a more detailed understanding of what she has come to love. Liane and the ladies took inspiration from the felt bag designs that were on show to help inspire creations from the Tigerlily Makes Ranges.   Liane is a very crafty person and has her own double decker craft bus called SID, where she runs children's parties... I can see she may well have to add some felty fun the schedule.

 

And last but not least...

 

Francessca's Bag back View

Francessca's lovely clutch bag created in her favourite colour PURPLE Francessca wanted to add a little of the designer touch to her creation with an elegant no handle tuck under your arm clutch, Francessca chose this cute shape from a range of differently shaped templates on offer at our courses.

 

So with all these newbie designs to inspire you and give you an idea of the magic you can be making very soon, theres only one thing left to say... Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep felting!

Introducing Regalily's Time for Afternoon Tea Tea Cosy Kit...

Gooooooood morning lovely makers, creators and all round lovely people! Today I thought I would give you the first peek at one of my brand new felt making kits.  Its regally inspired as you will probably guess from the title... and features 4 stunning roses, these rose are a brand spanking new rose design exclusive to Tigerlily Makes.  Designed by Lisa Marie Olson (that's me) AKA Miss Tigerlily and are a stunning and realistic representation of Miss Tigerlily's passion for all things floral.  The rose itself has been developed and designed to be made effectively and easily, so this makes it very unique not only in look but by the way it is constructed.

As many of you know Miss Tigerlily is a published and accredited paper crafts demonstrator and is well know for mixing paper and textiles together.  This particular rose has been adapted from an old paper craft technique that Miss Tigerlily Developed many years ago. So drawing on her previous years experience of both paper craft and textiles, Miss Tigerlily has breathed new life into this signature rose.

This is then combined with another Miss T passion and that is tea, so a tea cosy and very properly done roses are the perfect combination! Add to that the regency style stripe and you have all the makings of an afternoon tea delight.

This kit is not on the website just yet as my lovely web developer is hard at it, making all the changes for all the new kits we are currently launching! BUT you can email to order yours now info@tigerlilymakes.co.uk.

But for now keeeeeeeeeeep felting!
