My finished felted wall piece all stitched and ready to go into a local art gallery show that's coming up in March. I love the feel of stitching on felt and am absolutely hooked on it!
This is what the piece looked like before dyeing. I made a piece of wet felt using merino fibres and then clamped various resists (mostly washers). I dyed it first in green, reclamped and then dyed it in burgundy, reclamped and then in sky blue. Now I am on the lookout for more resists to use to get different patterns.
Valentine's Day is coming up and I started a little free pattern from
Happiness Is Cross Stitching.
I love the free black cat patterns on this site :)
Last weeks stitch for Take A Stitch Tuesday was the Arrowhead stitch. A very straightforward and easy stitch to do which I worked on my Owl's breast.
Have a wonderful and creative day everyone and thank you for stopping by :D
Your hand-dyed felt looks amazing and that is quite the process you do with all the clips and such. Do the clips ever rust? Love your little black cat cross stitch. Stitching Bliss Dear...

ReplyDeleteYour felt is gorgeous! The cross-stitch is cute. And, I love the way you added the arrowhead stitch for TAST.
ReplyDeleteI love the feltwirk and can see the attraction. Seeing what you can do is irresistible. The colour is so rich. Your arrows intrigue me. I must follow up.
ReplyDeleteVery creative! And they are beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteYour felted piece is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love the saturated colour in the wallhanging. Wet felting is a process I've never tried - would like to, but don't dare for fear I discover another passion!
ReplyDeleteyour wall hanging is beautiful I am sure that it will be admired by everyone at the exhibition!

I always love the contrast in your posts, Jeannette! What a change from the free form felt to the cross stitch cat! And that counted arrowhead stitch looks great on your owl, too. Fun post!
ReplyDeleteLove your stitching on felt! I haven't gotten back into embroidery, and every time I see a post re: TAST, I feel a touch of sadness! I'm just too fickle I guess, moving from one hobby to another! The arrowhead stitching looks cool.
