Nuno-Felted Swap Scarf
I'm participating in another amazing swap...
...arranged by the fabulous Nicola (Clasheen).
(She's a pip!)
Now that my swap partner has received her box of goodies...
...I can show you photos of one gift that I made especially for her!
I took a length of my hand-dyed silk gauze...
...and added wool fiber in matching shades of aqua and denim.
I placed the wool by following the pattern of dyeing on the scarf...
...and left the white sections bare.
I used cool water and rolled and rolled it at first...
...to encourage the fibers to migrate through the silk.
Nuno felting is not my strong suit...
...and it's hard, but I think it was worth it this time!
