Young Embroiderers' Group Millefleurs Hanging

 The Young Embroiderers' Group meet on Tuesday for a printing session. One of the activities we did was to use leaves to print on felt to add to our hanging.
 We painted the leaves with green acrylic paint and them used a roller to press the leaf onto the cream felt fabric.
 The results were so really delicate effects.
 When they were dry we cut the shape of the leaf out and carefully painted the edges with green paint.
 We then added them to the hanging and the effect is stunning, The felt leaves look like porcelain and have really broken up the the mass of coloured flowers on the hanging which have been made over several sessions from felt, suffolk puffs etc
And we even have a little pig...........
