My Own 'Fling' Mystery Projects- Part 2 of ?

Strips of silk gauze...

   ...and a thin layer of merino roving...


                                      ...make up this pre-felt in 'Halloween' colors.




                                                             More merino...



                                            ...and lengths of hand-spun art yarn...



                                     

                                             ...are used in this textural piece.



                                
                                          Pre-felt strips act as embellishments...



                                                    ...as do silk cut-outs...




                                                ...
and bits of red tussah silk.



                                          I also made one with beads and yarn...




                                          ...and one with pre-felt leaf cut-outs!




                                                 Some of my finished pieces...      

  

                                                ..
.drying on a pool noodle...



                                             ...and on a plastic-covered table.



                                     Next time: my project finally comes into focus!

My Own 'Fling' Mystery Projects- Part 1 of ?

Because my week-long class at Felters' Fling...


                                                       ...was a conceptual... 



                                          ...rather than a project-centered class...



                         ...I made projects that were unlike any of my classmates.



                                                     To begin, I made pre-felt...



                                                   ...lots and lots of pre-felt...





                                                 ...some with layers of silk...





                                           ...some with finished felt inclusions...











                                     ...and even some with rubber band snippets...





                                       ...felted within the fiber layers (for texture).



                                    Next time (spoiler alert): I make more pre-felt! :)

Felters' Fling 2015- 'End of the Week Sharing'- Part 2 of 2

There were complex...




                                                 ...one-of-a-kind felt teapots...




                                            ...at our 'end of the week sharing'...



                                                       ...each one reflecting...




                                                  ...the artistic sensibility...



                                                ...of its own inventive creator!





                                               Mid-way through the evening...

                           ...the charming and effervescent Kerr (our Pied Piper)...

                                    ...lured us to her studio with a bottle of wine. ;)



                                      What we found there, drying on the line...





                           ...was a glorious assortment of deconstructed screen prints...

                                             ...on silk fabric and finished felt...



                 ...made by artists for whom there is no such thing as a 'fear of color'!! :)





                                             We spent a perfect summer evening...



                                             ...admiring these luscious textiles...



                                                          ...drinking wine...
                                      



                                                    ...and saying goodbye...














                                                  ...until next time, anyway! :)
