Some of my latest projects

Like I told you last time, I am completely addicted to felting at the moment.
I have been trying all kinds of, for me, new techniques like shibori felting and dyeing, cobweb felting, mixing colours and hand dyeing. And most of it turned out quite like I imagined.

I am completely in love with this one!

As you may have guessed by now, I am into chunky jewelry. Being 6.1" that is not really a problem ;-)
Next time I am going to make a chain necklace like this, I will take and post some pictures of the whole process so you can see step by step how I did it.

All kinds of blues and purples

Noodles

I dyed this necklace after making the noodles. I first poured different shades of blue over them while already being stringed. After that I sprayed them with a "fun pump" spray in a purple shade.
In between the steps I fixated the dye in the microwave and found out that the nylon string I used could not withstand the heat so all the noodles ended up in a heap. I finally stringed them randomly on three thin rubber cords and this is what came of it.

I will gradually add most of these to my Etsy shop, with more detailed pictures, so I hope you will pay me a visit some time.

Felt, felt, felt

I have been neglecting my blog terribly for the last few week. In part because I have been ill, but for the most part because I have been felting. A lot!
I have done some felting over the years, but suddenly it has me completely hooked and I am trying all kinds of techniques. I am even going to attend a masterclass in September.

I will show off some of my experiments now.


 





And I added these to my Etsy shop as well.
