Xmas Boot

I wanted to make a small Xmas boot, smth like this Xmas stocking. Here is a template/resist:

 To make a decor I found this silk scarf with very appropriate design - baubles and ribbons. No idea where I've got it from!

 I wanted to decorate the cuff only:

 I cut out the design to make a border and used a rather coarse carded wool as the top layer because the silk was quite densely weaved, it's not a fine chiffon or ponge silk:

 The final size:

Oops!..Could you see any bauble here? Neither could I...

 Never mind, it'll serve its purpose! Next time (if!) I will do it differently.

                            Merry Christmas everyone!

Never say never!

I always claim myself as a practical person making only functional items. And what is it? A dust collector! Five of them!



It was an accident actually... In one felter blog I saw apples and pears which were purely wet felted not needle felted as you see usually. No secret were revealed, so I've spent couple of days trying and here we are!

Three pears and two apples, all are wet felted using flat resist. I am quite please with the result!

Felted Fish #?

The felted fish number?.. 4? 5?

Sold

It's just a new felted fish, I don't remember the number! I wanted to make a fish with very prominent eyes, a very long tail and a some kind of fish scales. Here we are. The tail is hollow by the way...

These felted birds are not mine actually! My daughter holidaying with us likes Kap Merino wool and tried her hands at it!



This is her first experience with wet felting and she loved it!

All the birds are sold.
