spindle

Some of you have shown an interest in what we did to make and use spindles.  I don't appear to have photos of the apple spindle session which I taught but I do have a photo of one of my friends teaching this using potatoes and twigs. 

This was out on St Martins Island in the harbour on a beautiful day.  I was teaching felt made mini pictures at this event. I got a little sunburned so appear even redder in the face than usual!



It is a fun thing to do when you have few resources and just want to have a go :)
