Softy Walter on location! (Stationers park)

A couple of weeks ago I went down to the park with my beautiful friend Saskia, my friend Dai (with his camera) to get some good pics of my Softy Walter pieces. We climbed trees, almost fell in ponds and Dai took 380 photos! Below is a selection of some of the best and some messing about ones.




Dai climbs a tree to rescue a necklace!

Saskia is silly!

That's me in the silly hat!

LadyFest Oxford Crafternoon!

Another public appearnace form Softy Walter - 23rd of May I'll be at the Crafternoon at Ladyfest Oxford. I'll be demonstrating the 'technique' to rolling felt up. (Harder and more frustrating than you'd think!) and the process I got through to make a brooch. So if you want The Knowledge come on down!

It's all ready. Bye Bye my pretties

So the ICA order is all ready to go on sale today!

Here it is in all it's colourful glory!





The whole order!




Brooches!



Hair slides!

Thank you!

A big thank you to The Downtown Boutique, Strikk, FabricNation and Crafty Ash for all chatting about Softy Walter on their blogs. Check them out!

I've been working very hard on the ICA order due in a couple of weeks and I'm also planning to show you how to make a swirl felt hair clip soon too.

I can smell toast burning, but I don't have a toaster. Best go and investigate...

Softy Walter soon available in the shop at The Institute of Contemporary Arts

Kinda gave the big news away in the title there but yes, I am very pleased to announce that a selection of the Softy Walter range will be available to buy at the ICA shop and in their online shop too from the beginning of May. Sitting alongside designers such as Love from Hetty and Dave is a great honour - in short I'm well chuffed!

Bangly no Jangly




Hello world - I'm Softy Walter *blushes*

Hello, I'm Softy Walter. I make cool stuff that you can wear out of felt.

All of the things you can see here are available for purchase in my Etsy shop at www.softywalter.etsy.com

It's great there on Etsy, have a browse around, there are some seriously talented people making some jeffing brilliant things, and all HANDMADE.

So as and when I make something new and exciting I'll put it up here for you to see and hopefully drool over. If you have any feedback on what I've made good or bad then do leave a comment. Always striving for soft felted perfection - that's me!
