Making
pre-felt sections by layering and patting wool roving into place...
...then wetting them out and quickly rolling them up in an absorbent towel.
My sketches work out many of the details...
...before I ever put scissors to pre-felt! :)
Cutting blue pre-felt into a
TARDIS shape...
...then adding needle-felted window and door-panel details...
...and markings to suggest window panes and door
signage.
Since I was working
inside-out, I flipped the TARDIS over onto the surface of my resist...
...and added a couple of bolts of
lightening!
Two-tone cotton sliver is used to create the
wormhole.
Apologies to those among my readers who are not
Whovians...
...or for whom this
fictional universe is of
no interest...
...since my 'inner geek' will certainly be on display in this post and the next! :)
After making so many journal covers for
others, lately...
...(and I haven't even shown you all of them, yet)...
...I just wanted to finally make one for
myself!
Using some hastily constructed pre-felt...
...I cut out a TARDIS-shaped box and added needle-felted details.
I cut commercial pre-felt into
lightening bolts...
...and coiled cotton sliver into the suggestion of a
wormhole.
Next time: the finished piece...
...complete with a special ribbon-and-leather bookmark!
