I can’t show what I am working on now so I decided to show you some other things that are percolating here in my studio. This is a photoshop drawing that I made of a photo I took on Kauai. I am thinking of making a thermofax screen from it.
I have had a basket of roving for 3 or 4 years. I keep buying books on felting, with plans to do some projects. I finally bought some supplies. I can not just sit and watch tv, so I decided to try my hand at needle felted beads tonight. Apologies for the blurry photos.
turquoise and peach roving
tie a knot
use a foam base (i used styrofoam)
felted bead
Final felting with soapy water. I am thrilled with my perfectly round bead. I got a few pokes in my fingers – oops and ouch.
This is why I have to keep buying Elmer’s glue sticks. I forget to put the cap on.
Under the glue stick is my finished 12 X 12 quilt. I thought I had finished it yesterday, but I was not happy with it and did a lot of unquilting last night and this morning. This afternoon, I finished it again. I am happy that I redid it.
I’m about ready to embrace felting as much as quilting…I’m going to wet felt a small piece to test my physical ability before I jump in with both feet and hands. Your discharge pieces in the current post at the top turned out great! Loved the patterning in them.
That felted bead is very cool! I may have to try it myself. And what kind of trees are those in the photo? Those are very interesting.
can’t wait to see it.
