Felted Booties

I have been meaning to post this for awhile but others just got in the way. Having learnt the resist method of felting I turned my hand to a smaller project  
of making booties. They shrink about 30%.

I think they are fabulous and now I have made my first lot I can see me experimenting.

Felted Cushion with 3D Flower

I attended Wendy Bailye's workshop on how to make a felted cushion incorporating a 3D flower. The fact that I made it in one piece with no sewing is amazing. Now that I know the basic method I can make lots of styles.

Made with a slit in the back so that I can add a 40cm insert and made from this beautiful Purple Rain wooltop from Open Drawer.

Champagne Nuno Felted Scarf

I am really happy with this scarf I made on the weekend at the VFI felting frenzy. Just a small amount of wool top required to nuno felt this champagne tissue silk bought from Open Drawer in Toorak Road, Camberwell. I love the lightness of these scarves and are perfect around my neck on these cold days.

Blush Felted Wrap

Had a long and industrious day felting this wrap.

Its very lightweight. A silk tissue base with wool tops and little silk curls for added detail and texture

Or wear it as a scarf in cooler months

Organizing my next felting project

Just getting back into the swing of things for the new year. I have a felting day on Saturday at the VFI. I am planning on making a nuno felted wrap for a friends birthday. I have chosen this beautiful blush pink wool onto white tissue silk with a few silk embellishments. A big project for me but I have all day to do it.

Elegant Felted Scarves and Wraps

I bought this beautiful new book at a recent craft expo. More inspiration for when I get some space to do wet felting.

 

I love this wrap, it could easily be a baby blanket or hanging piece.

 

This one is so pretty and summery

 

and this looks like a good winter project

Felted Scarves

I am trying to perfect making felt and with an afternoon to spare I made this small neck scarf in red. Just two layers is perfect

and this black and greay variegated neck scarf
