I've had a sore right upper arm/shoulder this past week and not sure if it can be attributed to a rather enthusiastic dance partner last week and/or the needle felting or indeed if I'm getting a right frozen shoulder now! Oh my???
I'm pondering the last printed photos I have from last February and have started the trawl through the files for the next lot to be printed. Big job for the year!
Anyways here's my finished 2D picture of the mushroom.
I hot glued the trimmed felt backing inside the back of the hoop and popped some card in with the mushroom name etc.
Amanita Muscaria (Fly Agaric)
I had a look in some charity shops for a container to display my mushroom in and found this metal ivy shaped dish for £3 - perfect.
I was going to buy some artificial ivy but remembered the chair garlands from my wedding (nearly 27years ago) of which I'd kept one.
It was rather sorry having been in the loft for so long, I discarded the paper/ribbon and I washed the ivy and roses, so all sorted.
I made a second smaller mushroom to accompany my original mushroom and a base for them too. How cute is that?
I then cracked out the poppy pack from Jo (Twiglet) and made a poppy landscape inspired by Maxine @ Tilly Tea Dance
I added it to my fabric book with a funky bird on the facing page inspired by our very own
Julia.
Isn't WOYWW the bestest most inspiring group of like minded crafty people ever! Huge thanks to all.

Brilliant way to display the mushrooms they look right at home. Don't like the sound of the shoulder though and hope it eases soon. Take care. Happy woyww with hugs, Angela x12x
Oh wow, those little toadstools are brilliant and you’ve set them just right in that little bargain dish and ivy garland, perfect! The needle felted pic is lovely too and sits very nicely in the journal.

Fabulous felted projects this week. I love the little dish for your amazing toadstools and the ivy looks very realistic. Happy WOYWW Angela =13
Your toadstools are brilliant and well set and your little bowl was a bargain. I hope your shoulder improves soon. Have you tried a heat pad?
Happy WOYWW

Oh my goodness- those toadstools are amazing! You mentioned a poppy picture- have I missed it? Will check back. x x Jo 🌈
I don't which impressed me more BJ, the finished mushrooms, the wonderful 'I made a second one' as if takes no time at all, or the fact that you had AND REMEMBERED the chair garlands from your wedding day! Super impressive all round! I rather suspect that the felting might have overworked a part of your shoulder/arm that you don't usually even think of. Hope it goes away or gets used to felting really quickly!
I love your mushroom duo in their new little dish, and especially the ivy that means so much to you! The poppy page in your fabric book is lovely, as is the bird taking in the scene! Hope your shoulder/arm feels better! Have a great week, Lindart #15
Toadstools are awesome and your journal pages fantastic. Annoying computer issues got in my way so Happy a bit late WOYWW
