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!

  1. I love it - great combination of colours and textures. It has the feel of an ancient relic (and I mean that in the nicest possible way!)
