An experimental project using multiple resists.
The finished 'accordion-pleat' felt...
...and seen again, here, from the
open end.
A second version of the project, done in a
completely different way...
...using pre-felt circles stitched together with wool yarn.
I think it looks very 'sea creature-like'...
...especially the 'boingy bits' of art yarn which were a gift from my sweet friend,
Lindy.
'Look, Mama!', it's a
mermaid throne! :)
This is a project that I first noticed...
...during the 'Midweek Sharing Time' at Felter's Fling, 2011.
When I returned home that summer...
...I fashioned the yellow and orange piece (above) using multiple resists...
...but found it a 'fiddly' and frustrating thing to do.
At Marjolein Dallinga's class this summer...
...I discovered that there's a much simpler way to make a project like this!
By stitching pre-felt circles together with lengths of wool yarn...
...I was able to avoid the awkward
fiber layout of my earlier attempt...
...with virtually identical results! :)
