My Own Work

I'm working on designs for wall hangings right now in between my illustration work and developing ideas for an exhibition coming up in the summer. I find working in this style relaxing. A bi of prefelt  other early scraps of pre felt mixed in with recycled fabric some chiffon and recycled sari silk and some stitching here and there..

MORE NEW WORK BROOCHES

SEA CREATURES... experimenting with quirky designs here is a sneak preview ..
These brooches are made with lots of techniques including wet felting with pre felt and vintage fibres and and various felting techniques and stitching and needle felting.. a real mixed bag and  lots of time working on and learning a lot as I go

Trying something new

I decided that I wanted to try mixing up things a little, so I wet felted a basic bangle and then added all sorts of scraps sewn in old shrunken jumpers, cord, needle-felted thin fibres and re wet felted into the piece. It took a while and I managed to put the felting needle right through one side of my finger and out the other side and I stared at amazement for a moment before the pain hit and I yanked the needle back out.. but anyhow after some trials, (some thicker fabrics just didnt look right) I ended up with this design just right for the Party season!
