Worked on this earlier this year, now I am putting it into the felting

I thought I better repost as it is from May 2010, way too much to scroll down (but has more info if you want to check it out)

From this:


to this:
I might use some tea bags to colour the whitish cotton lace, they were put in mordant of soy milk, but still did not take much colour, I'll work on it



2010, new project, new ideas, thanks to a workshop with India Flint



I arranged the Prefelt,
then the pieces of silk, wool, cotton and so on ...............
pin them
next:








you stitch and stitch and stitch .............................................







Of course, since I will felt them, I need lots and lots of pieces,
some I stitch then dye with eucalyptus and other plants
some are predyed
I then stitch them with predyed thread or ribbons


What will become of them, to be honest I am not quiet sure,
have a few ideas in my head
You will just have to wait and see

In the next few weeks I will post more samples as I stitch and dye them
