New Adventures with Felt Wallhangings


I love trying new things! I've done some experimenting before with shibori tying felt and adding on prefelt, but thought I would try creating some different types of relief on a 2 dimensional felt surface. 














In this one called 'Breakup', I overlaid the light blue felt and tucked in edges and stitched in some ridges to create  relief.
















In 'Something's Fishy' I created the fish in prefelt and used resists to keep the fins from attaching to the background felt. 















A bit of 'stuffing' inside the fish created a quilted quality when stitched. The eyes are slices of felted marbles made from concentric circles of different colours.
