The piece I decided to do was inspired by the
Great Whale Conservancy. The colours were a bit of a challenge and I have to
admit were pulled out and altered on an almost regular basis!
I used monkscloth as a backing, and drew the design directly on to that, being a small piece I felt quite happy about tackling that, the piece it self is only 9" by 6".
It was worked mostly in wool #3 cut, I also used wool yarn to add texture, I really wanted to show the water falling from the whales tail and struggled to find the right effect, and ended up over hooking some slightly shiny wrap that came with flowers at Christmas. I finished the work by glueing felted material to the backing.

I love your use of the shiny wrap it just gives a lovely sparkle and also proves how essential it is to hoard many random bits
