| Not sure what Blogger did to this post but I had trouble for some odd reason. Anyways, here are a few more leaves done using the alternating stitch on Sylvia Murariu's Windy October. Hope I'm finished it long before then. |
 |
| These cast on flowers were tricky to do as the Brazilian Iris thread is very fine. |
 |
| Had loads of fun with a few other wonderful ladies on the weekend as I tried my hand once again at felting. Here are my first couple layers of merino roving laid out. |
 |
| Wrapped around the pool noodle and bubble wrap and ready to roll and roll and roll. |
 |
| Rolled, rinsed and thrown into the sink a bunch of times to help with the felting process. |
 |
| Also made a piece of fabric cloth with a layer of muslin covered with torn pieces of tissue paper, napkins and other bits. Then I painted it with water mixed with glue and a bit of acrylic paint. Plan to make this into a book cover. |
 |
| A few more pieces of dyed cloth hanging in the courtyard to dry. A very fun weekend. |
Wow, such interesting work you're doing. You have many talents!
ReplyDeleteThis is some amazing stuff! Love your cast on flowers done with such fine thread!!! The process for making that fabric with muslin and papers is very strange, and it turned out so beautiful!!! Heavens, you do have a ton of fun!!!!! Xoxo-Julie
ReplyDeleteyour brazilian work is beautiful Jenny. Can see you throughly enjoyed your creative weekend. Re the book cover piece, how did you attach the papers to the muslin, think your muslin is what we call calico here or is it very fine too, Also like the felt you have made
ReplyDeleteOh, I can see you had a good time!
ReplyDeleteThe Brizilian project is a gem! I love the shine, but dislike the twisting-tangling-difficult-to-manipulate thread!
Have fun!
wow, such a neat and beautiful stitching!!!
ReplyDeleteand, experiments with felting and dyeing are always interesting! :)
Beautiful work as always :)

ReplyDeleteYou are a very talented woman !
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day !

The Brazilian embroidery looks so very pretty. Seems you had fun felting. Fun, I just made a piece of fabric paper in the same colours last week! I turned a part of it into a birthday card which I'm going to share when it has arrived.
ReplyDeletethe embroidery is gorgeous, love those flowers. Love your felt piece too, I really want to make some more felt but never seem to have the time.
ReplyDeleteYou had a very busy productive weekend. Love the felting you created!

Wow such beautiful work..I love it.
ReplyDeleteLots of love for you x
I love your embroidery, I like how you have stitched all the long stems close together, and your flowers are beautiful. I like the material that you have made, I will look forward to the book cover!
ReplyDeleteIt is going to be another beautiful piece of embroidery, love the colour variation on the leaves and the stitching. Looking forward to see your completed felting project.
