Back in January I eagerly dug into a box of felting supplies, a Xmas gift from my son & DIL.
The luscious color of this batt of pre-felt is called watermelon. Layers have been carefully placed and ready for the wet felting process.After lots of rolling and throwing and with the aid of a variety of 'curls' and pencil roving, this small plaid design was the result. It's more than a blank canvas yet it could still use more design elements.
My initial idea called for a lot of beading with the addition of hand embroidery. However, the more I studied the graphic design the more I realized keeping it simple was a better plan.

Nice and just enough embellishments.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Keeping it simple was just right. Great colors!
ReplyDeleteIt is so important to be able to let go of original ideas and recognize and adapt to what a piece needs.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I took a needle-felting workshop last fall and came home with pre-felt too...for needle-felting. It would be interesting to do it up and see if the results are similar...or not. Love your piece!
ReplyDeleteThat is a luscious colour of red!Love the end result.
