handmade felt

Saturday 31 March 2012

think this lovely weather is confusing me....

earlier in the week I decided to make a light, floaty scarf in lovely golds, oranges and greens
...so I began....laying out the fibres...
then wetting out the fibres, then the felting process... but somehow I just wasn't happy with it until I had felted it to within an inch of its life!!!
 resulting in a scarf not light and floaty at all, but warm and cosy!!
 however, sanity returned yesterday when the hand dyed scrim I had been waiting for arrived...
... melt in the mouth summery colours of lime and raspberry crush....
 ...couldn't wait to get cracking on this lovely summery scarf, perfect for the gorgeous warm weather we're having at the moment...of course it could be snowing next week !!!!
