Sheila Smith Workshop



Yesterday I was on Sheila Smith workshop. It was about using stretched prefelt, laminated with silk chiffon, and creating decorative edges. The result is very pleasing, even on these mediocre pictures you can see how soft and delicate my scarf is! I used prefelt made of silk/merino blend and both prefelt and silk were hand dyed in matching colours.

The other participants created truly beautiful pieces, you can see some pictures here

  1. Your scarf is beautiful, I love the crimson and cream colour combination. Did you dye the flowers before or after felting? Or were they cut from a patterned piece of silk?
