Cedar Lodge School Youth Art Club

This week we made some fishy fabrics using felt. All the teenagers at Cedar Lodge love the feel of soft marino felt wool, the bubble wrap and soapy suds so it's always a winner. 
First we looked at images of tropical fish. There are so many species, shapes and vibrant colours. We pull and overlap white felt for the background. Then choose a selection of colours to create our fish. The more the fibres overlap, the better it will bind together to form a felt sheet. It looks like a fluffy cloud before the felting process begins. 
This one below is an image of angry birds. Unfortunately I have no 'before' pictures of the fish as we were so busy!
Fantastic tropical fish and angry bird!
