I have been playing with felting after watching Jane LaFazio's video for The quilting art e-magazine in stitches.
I did the first layers with my machine felting machine. I layered wool rovings, organza, silk threads, and strips of sari.
Then I tried hand felting for the first time. I loved it. I now need to save up for a hand felting tool! I added wool, more rovings, and threads with the hand felting tool.
After the felting had been done I have added hand embroidery. Embroidery works so well on felting as it is so soft and supple. It is lovely to do.

I want to add more embroidery. Where could I place it? What stitches? Any suggestions?.......Let me know!
Catherine,
ReplyDeleteI went to a felting workshop and made a small nativity. It was really therapeutic. The lady who taught the class learned to felt in NZ.
