Sense my space



Felting workshop.

Today we had a felting workshop and we were introduced to basic felting skills and techniques .Here are just some samples of ways you can felt.










 1. Felting fleece, milk carton with warm soapy water, tennis ball. Felting fleece has to be wrapped around tennis ball and after warm soapy water has to be slowly poured over and felting wool worked around tennis ball until you don't feel any air pockets with your hands. After this it has to be rinsed under warm water and then it can be left to dry or put in the washing machine on 40' to wash again(it will shrink more of you wash in machine).



 Felting fleece can be mixed with fabric and felted that way, so you get mixed texture. We made this big piece all group together.









 Here are some of samples I made myself.
