Spot of Nuno Felting

Found some great silks in my stash, so it was time to play.

Nuno felted wrap in progress.

Hand crafted silk and wool nuno felt wrap

Now its off to make a lovely white silk and wool wrap for a bride.

For the love of Blue

Blue Hydrangea

I love blue.

My eyes are blue as are my father's and my mother. 

And like my Mum when she was with us, I tend to 

wear blue. A lot. 

It brings out my eyes, so my mother used to tell me. :-)

The blue door

I tend to also keep going back to blue 

when creating my art work and felts.

Particularly wearables. I find that blue scarves do

not last long in the shop, which is lucky.

I like creating in blue!

Blue Silk and Wool Nuno Felt Stole

Latest and greatest nuno felt wrap!

Well I'm not sure if its the greatest? But its definitely the latest!

I actually gave you a hint of my latest nuno felt wrap in my first post on attempting to tidy my studio.

Nuno felt scarf in process

There she is. This is one of my stained glass scarves in process. I combine my own hand painted or dyed silks, along with commercial silks and laces and hand dyed wool/silk roving to create these OOAK wearables. 
They generally start with one piece of fabric that catches my eye which just carries on from there! I rarely have a finished piece in mind. They seem to grow just by themselves!

Red and Black Special Occasion Stole

I am very happy with how this girl turned out. (they are all girls to me!) 

I love this form of felting. You never quite know how they are going to turn out, and each one always has a bit of a learning curve attached to it! Never easy!
