Felt

Hand-felting at college on Tuesday. Good grief! I love this technique so much!

Some thin, hole-riddled felt like a spider's web.

Stripes of green felt - felted onto calico. I blended the colour by carding some rovings and it does look better in reality.

Stripes of purple-orange felt - felted on to muslin.

Felt curls. Strands of felt dipped in a 50/50 mix of water and PVA glue and wrapped round a metal knitting needle until dry.


Felted ball - still whole...

And cut open.

Felted stick. Whole...

And cut open!
