A blissful day in the shed today, finishing more things to take to this little craft fair next weekend - my first outing as a maker of things. Today I made little drawstring bags for the sets of juggling balls I made last week. Each ball is felted around a golf ball for weight, then tied into a pair of old tights and washed in the machine with the jeans. The golf ball gives them a good shape and they feel nice and heavy to juggle with - only wish I could juggle!
thoughts please?
wish I could juggle too than I could justify buying a set - they look so wonderfully tactile and the colour combos work very well together in the little sets.

Beautiful! I love, love, love the vibrant colors.

I think these are wonderful, lovely clour combinations, would be a joy just to take the balls out of the bags and look at them - guess that's because I can't juggle either.

ooh - thank you! but how much would you be willing to pay for them??? the hard question!

Lovely job, I love the colours, I would think £5 would not be out of the way to ask.

I'm not sure how much I would pay, as I have no idea how much time went into them. Maybe $15? Are you selling them?

They're cool, I'll tell Matt to look and give his professional juggling opinion. Lovexxxxxxxxxx

They are tremendous. Good luck as a maker of things. (I don't think you will need it though)

thank you for the positive comments everyone - I have been frantically making all sorts of things for saturday - the shed looks like an explosion in a fabric factory!

If you have a set of these left after your show please let me know!
Good luck Saturday!

Matt wants some samples to test jugglability, if you haven't sold them all on saturday send some down with dad and we'll test them out. I can do the grand total of 4 passes so will give it a go too. lovexxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Martha! tell me what colour you want - if you number them left to right and top to bottom - 2 and 6 have gone.
Love you

I juggle and do a little knitting. What pattern did you use?

Hey what a wonderfull idea.
I like al ways to make juggling props that support a sustainable (creative) world.
I would realy like to get a set for my foundation in which we support young people in development countries to give creative workshops in dance, circus, music, art and theatre.
Wonderfull colourcombinations, do share your way of making by video and photo's so that the world could benifit of your creative expression.
I would be honoured to learn you and your friends how to juggle.
Love, Peace and Joy
Rik
