Feltpix-Sandra Richardson, Christmas favourites

The magic and madness of Christmas is upon us and it's great. I really enjoy this time of year, it's a nice kind of hectic.

The last few months have been spent getting stock ready for the various Craft Fairs and the new Gallery in Dun Laoghaire that Karen Harper is opening. I put down the scissors, needle and thread and put on my selling hat.

It's wonderful when someone buys one of my pictures, but I really wish I could go with them to see where they hang it, how they look at my work and the fun stories the kids and adults make up about them.

The pictures shown here are done with felt and silk wool, they are 'Night Owl' and 'Best Friends' - the dark at this time of year and being surrounded by friends helps to sum up Christmas.

I always have a few favourites that I don't want to part with, but I assure myself that there will be new favourites the next month and month after and so on. It is the silly season after all!

When selling night owl at the Gallery, I did look the new owner up and down to make sure it was going to a good home....they passed the test, and away it went.

Thanks Karen for ensuring the Night Owl and the other pictures you sold for me were going to a good home! I always like to know who my customers are, and if I'm not selling the piece myself, it's always nice to know a little bit about the person who bought it. In the end, we're all happy!
