I did not get much felting done today as I have a head cold and feeling rough. I got a coral reef laid out and started to felt it, this will be a backdrop for my sea creatures. This is the restist I am using.

This is is a fairly large piece for me to work on and I had to make sure it fit on my bubble wrap so it is about 22″ x 40″ and I laid out all sorts of bright colours so it would look like a very crazy coral reef might look like. I did roll it for a while late in the afternoon but it is now resting for the night.

I went water jogging and to the grocery store for head cold supplies so I should be good for a couple of days.  I was talking with a fellow while I sat in the hot pool, he was waiting for his son to finish soccer practise.  He works on a fishing trawler and goes out for 30 or 40 days at a time and then has that same amount of time off.  He said it was a good paying job, because the work is physically demanding, if you did not have additional schooling. It is interesting to get to meet people at the pool and certainly lots of people go to the pool.

That’s it for me for now, hopefully I will feel better in the morning.
