Everything from the flowing drapery of the dress to the really solid bags and compost bin covers.
And the Dalek is a cracker!
Gotta love that compost bin cover. That could not have been easy to make. You sure have been one busy lady, with all that body of work, and I know that's probably less than half of it. LOL
Rachel--Thanks! Yes...felt has many different moods, doesn't it?!? :)
Sandie--Hahaha...it's just BIG! :)

Thanks, Kat!!
Wow.... that's my word for the GREAT collection and wonderful works of different skills, textures, functional and decoration..... You have to make a book of all these collections. Will be a very very good reference for readers and felt fanatics !
Terriea--Thank-you so much for your kindness!
Hi Heather, your work is truly inspiring. Thanks so much for sharing. Can I ask your advice. I have just inherited lots of silk material. Is it possible to use silk that is heavier than chiffon in felting. If so, are there any special tips you could impart to ensure success. Many thanks Helene
Thank-you, Helene! Yes, you can use thicker silks to nuno felt with, but you're right...there are techniques that will help. If it is only slightly thicker than chiffon, use room temp water (never hot) and expect to rub and roll for a long time (and try not to check obsessively, whether it's felting!) :) If it's something like silk dupioni, you can 'anchor' the fabric with stitching or cut holes in it and anchor it that way.
Helene...like this: http://woollove-functional-fiberart.blogspot.com/2014/09/silk-noil-and-wool-nepps-sample-tote_14.html
Thank you so much for your generosity Heather. I have just finished looking through your blog and it is really a wonderful felting reference source. I have just began my adventure in felting I am exploring 3D possibilities at the moment. Once I have finished lining one of my handbags I will upload them unto FB.
Helene--Please send a link when you've finished it! :)
