« on: March 10, 2010, 07:02:44 AM »
Hi guys!
Here I'm again with my jewellery but this time felted. Just been done last weekend.It's my first attempt to felt and I used wet felting technique.
There is just a  necklace and a pin I was manage to put together. Hope you'll like it
My blog post about it http://artbeadwork.blogspot.com/2010/03/learning-to-felt.html
and here are the pictures

Thank you. All done by hand with help of soup and bubble wrap. :) ))

You wouldn't want to know where my mind went with that one!  :evil:   Seriously though, it looks like you had a lot of fun!

I love the oh so soft colors in these, really! I tend not to like felted stuff due to the too bright or too harsh color mixtures used. Not  a problem with that here though. Absolutely lovely!

Oh wow these are really cool!  I mean, they really look like how natural flower components look!  Did you use flower models or just pull it straight out of your head?  It's hard for me to imagine how soup and bubble pack come into play here...    ^-^

Thank you Gina. No templates. Just place the wool in circle, star or leaf shape on bubble wrap, spray with warm soupy water, cover with  a net and " massaging" :) it gently round and round, than in bubble wrap and rolling 200-300 times. then cutting and correcting the shape and rubbing again in your hands to felt the cuts.
Simple! There is some videos on Utube you can watch.

I agree with Janelle. I'm not a fan of felted jewelry, but yours is beautiful.  :)

Wow!
They are just gorgeous! Can't believe it was your first attempt! I have thought about trying my hand at felting but the time consuming part always makes me change my mind....
