Leaf hat




I made this hat to test out the pattern for a hat I'm making for an exhibition soon. I needed something green for a challenge on the felting forum I'm part of so Green it was.

I'm very lucky to have gorgeous friends to model for me. This wrap looks 100 times better on her don't you think?

Eucalypt dyeing is tricky.

These are the latest in my dyeing endeavors. I seem to get the most amazing colour on silk. Rich chocolate browns But the wool is just the many shades of beige! Each of these samples , both silk and wool were dyed together. I added some copper pipe as mordant but I'm going to have to up the mordant stakes I think to get much of a response on wool.




Some lovely leaf prints from a prunus are encouraging.

New felted neckie


So here's a new thing. I thought each one could have a little different felt object off it. I quite like the stitching here and there as a contrast. Born of necessity at first but interesting in the end.

Felt Balls


I do like the look of a new batch of felt balls all bunched up together, waiting for new homes.
