Chook n Boo Mum Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Are they needle felted Y? What state are your fingers in............. mine looked like they'd been used as pin cushions Lovely pieces Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ygerna Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 They are needle felted and I only stabbed myself once, but, that was enough ouchies. Yesterday though I tried cobweb felting, a wet felting technique which gives amazing thin, soft felt. I now have a lovely soft scarf I also have a design floating around in my head for a piece of Jewellery. Got to find some workspace here at home though before I will be able to do that one.

Chook n Boo Mum Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Very pretty, like a corsage that girls going to a prom wear..lovely You seem to get your pieces stabbed together quite quickly, how firm do you get them, are they quite floppy or rock hard............that would make sense to a needle felter Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ygerna Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 I would say middle of the road-ish. for the corsage, I wanted to trial the concept out. The hair elastics are nice and firm, they will get a lot of wear and tear. The brooch, again that was middling, as it wont get much abuse, although the pin is fixed with a pad of well felted wool, to aid it being fastened.

Omletina Kyckling Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 They are absolutely fabulous! You've done a great job. It's the most satisying craft isn't it? I keep meaning to photograph some of the pieces I've made recently but haven't got around to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
