Well I have felted it, much easier than I thought it would be, though it was an experiment. I think it will be harder to use in a piece with more details in and used in conjunction with other materials like the silk tussah. I think it works well, and I guess how I imagined […]
I’m obviously in the mood for trying stuff out! At the same time I bought the Welsh Mountain Sheep wool tops, I also bought some ‘Sparklethread’, which I think you mainly fuse together through heat. I think it is also a thicker version of Angelina. So I thought I would give it a go and […]
yep, I have made it and this is what it looks like. You can’t appreciate the texture of it though like this so I have a details shot below as well. I added a little bit of silk tussah and hemp fibre as well, to try out, very pleased with it, I will be cutting […]
Yes, you read that right! I have not had a chance yet to photograph the piece of felt I made with the Welsh mountain sheep wool tops yet, it is sitting next to me. I will do so, but then I will probably cut it up, and do ‘stuff’ with it. I think I have […]
..yes, and Welsh ones at that! Today I got some wool tops from Welsh Mountain Sheep, and I have made a piece of felt up this evening with it, waiting for it to dry now, so I will hopefully post a photo tomorrow, I think it could add a reall different texture/direction to what I’m […]
… is Vernon God Little, and I’m not sure how I feel about it, bit sort of on the fence about it! Got to pull my finger out though, we discuss it on Friday – arghhhhh!
I thought that I would show how one of my pieces of felt develop, from lots of fluffy fibres into a solid piece of felt. This is not so much the process, but how the materials change from being the wool tops to the wet felt to finally the dry finished piece. One of the […]
what an awful pun, I’m so sorry! But I did, I felt the urge to create, to make a piece, and it actually flowed pretty well. It is now drying in the airing cupboard, so, fingers crossed, in the morning it will look as good in real life as it does in my head!
I really like this, I sketched this out yesterday, as I have a number of smallish buttons I wanted to use all together, and this is what I came up with. I guess you could say it is a bit twee, but I really like it, and I’m very happy with the colours. I want […]
