This is such an exciting experience to be part of - the theme (this year "Green") is given out at 5pm on the friday eveing. By 6pm the next day you have to submit your work. It is a wonderful community event, open to artists of all ages and abilities. I decided to go with "Greensleeves" and chose to depict a woman in a classical pose, listening to the famous Elizabethan ballad, wearing only her lovely felted green sleeves! The drawing was done from life working with a life model late on the friday, then spending til the wee small hours transferring the pencil drawn image to embroidery. The following day the fabrics were "collaged" and finally the felted sleeves added using the dry needle felting technique. I have been developing this and similar ways of working over the past 9 months or so and it was challenging to complete the piece in 24 hours (usually many days or weeks of work!).

"My Lady Greensleeves" won 3rd prize!
