Before talking about felt, I just wanted to share with our friends who have mild winters. It is March here in Central Canada, and there is very little snow left. But as I said, it’s March, and March is a fickle month. This is what I woke up to last Saturday.
March 29 snowfall.
Followed by freezing rain overnight Sunday.
March 30, freezing rain on top of snow.
Do not be feeling sorry for me. This is fairly normal here. We expect it, but I am envious of you sitting out in your gardens enjoying the spring flowers.
Now some felt. I finished up the pink sample for the book-resist workshop. I finished the pages 2 different ways just to show them. I think it might look nice with a light inside.
I made a second sample using a football shape. It is smaller.
The resist was fiddley to get out because I didn’t want a hole in it. So, didn’t want to cut a hole in the end.
After removing the resist, I sewed up the hole.
Stitching up the hole
Stitching after fulling.
Here is how it looks finished. I am really pleased with it. The stitching was resistant to being pulled out, but I did get it out.
I may have to make another one. I may just have to stitch on this one. I have the wool ready for the next sample. I hope to have it done for you to see next time.
Neat samples. I especially like the brown one. Reminds me of a fabulous dried seed pod.
