Felted Jelly Roll and Beads

Here is a felted scarf that I just made

I think that even felting in process is gorgeous. Here I nuno felted part of this and regular wet felted the rest but I tied a bunch of river rocks to the wet felt and then felted it further to get the bubbly look. I will have to post the finished pictures another time but here it is in process

Here is some of my latest felting, I LOVE FELTING!!!!! in case that wasn't clear to anyone

So this was just such a gorgeous pattern so I wanted to share here

WITCHY POO

NUNO SCARF IN PROGRESS

Here I am laying out the scarf for felting. it looked so beautiful just laid out I took a picture of it. The fabric is a piece of silk gauze that I dyed a sort of chartreusey color and it looked so great with the other elements.

FELTED NUNO SCARF IN PROGRESS

Here are the pieces that I decided to use for the scarf. In this picture are the jelly roll slices and the fringe.

NUNO FELTED SCARF

So after I made all these jelly rolls I played around with a sample to see if I could felt it onto a piece of silk and much to my excitement it worked so I decided to make a scarf using this newly discovered technique.

Here are some pictures of the jelly roll cut up into sections.

Finished rolls

So here is a view of the a few rolls that are finished and also some slices from one of the rolls.
Very nice don't you think?
I can also roll  thicker slices into beads by wetting them and rolling in my palms.

Jellyroll

so I roll that up as tightly as I possibly can and wet it with hot water as I go along and then I just roll it back and forth on a ridged shelf liner until it looks something like these rolls.

Felting, felting, felting

So here is a jellyroll that I laid out

Felted beads

Lastly, I made these lovely felted beads and thought that they looked so beautiful all lined up here

I used these on my bolo ties here is a link to one in my etsy shop

Beyond jellyrolls

So next I cut the jellyrolls up into small pieces and rolled them in my palms to make these beads.

I started making these bracelets and when I made the balls I decided to attach them to the bracelets  you can see them in my etsy shop. Here is the link

I actually nuno felted this one which means I felted the wool onto a piece of silk and that created that beautiful ruffling affect.

All wrapped up in felt

I have had a couple of weeks to go into my magical world of felting and it has been an amazing experience as always. I wish to share with you here. I started out by making these jellyrolls here are some pictures

Salt and pepper shakers

So here is my famous worktable that I like to photograph so much. It is interesting to look at though don't you agree? I was working on some ceramic salt and pepper shakers here that someone ordered and I thought that they looked so good together. So here are some pictures.
