Those Shrunken Jumpers
I am still at it……. can’t go past an op shop without a peek for a woollen jumper or a silk scarf. Ula and I had a crafty day, I made my first cut into the Wollies that I have tortured in the washing machine. The sleeves make great phone holders and we tried out a couple of Teddie patterns. One of the jumpers was an Aran in cream and I will get one handbag ans two cushion covers from it, all in readiness for my stall at Art in the Olives on May 13th.
I have nuno felted these two stoles in readiness for my busy months ahead … Three markets in Two months !!
“Cardinal Convert”
Well it is finished and I’m about to deliver the ” Cardinal Convert ” table runner to Irene @ the centre.
The silk scarf that is the base came from an op shop and has been embellished with silk scraps, wool roving and thread then felted together, I also did some detail stitching and beading.
The exhibition opens for a month @ The Centre at Beaudesert from 29th February ….www.liveatthecentre.com
Nuno Felt on Silk and Cotton
I have been busy felting my little heart out. I had a special order (which has been dispatched ) but wanted to share with you.The use of re purposing an op shop scarf into the scarf. I am really happy with the result and it has given me some new ideas.
I have almost finished the piece that will go in the opening exhibition for the Open Studios ( Scenic Rim Council) It was to be a shawl/ stole but has shrunk too much…. so now it is a table runner / wall hanging, I want to finish it with some stitching and beading.
And lastly I have found a lovely soft green muslin cotton shawl that I have lightly embellished with wool and a little silk, a great look for a summer evening.
