Explorations with 3D wet felting!

This was fun! I read instructions for making childrens' booties with wet felt, and then decided to go a bit further with the concept and make some random things ...tea cosies...robin hood explorer hats...little dollies, purses, melodica cases..it was great! I really like making my big shawls though as I can create images and feelings and relate more of myself with them, but these were a fun diversion for a while- I will certainly make more booties and I want to make some handbags with the method too!

My Mania

I made this wall hanging to be displayed at the Sustainable Living Expo that was held in Hobart over the first weekend in November. It is wet and dry felted. The nice curly bits of wool are from my Grandads collection from when he used to spin, my Grandma used to dye it.
