In the name of science I keep experimenting! Well, not really… to be scientific I should have done a whole lot of note taking, measuring and stuff which I didn’t do. I always say… “this time I’m going to measure everything, write it down so I can repeat it…” and then half way through [...]

Remember a few days ago I posted about this wrap or scarf made with silk and merino. Very light and soft. Well, I dyed it with weld which gives a very pretty yellow. Since I was experimenting, afterwards I dip it in an old copper pot. I didn’t heat it up at all but I [...]

My weekend: I nuno felted lace and then hand dyed it with brazilwood chips. This is the first extraction of colour and I am looking forward to see the other shades that this dye stuff can give. This piece was mordated with alum. The colour is so [...]

Multifunctional for the table II
August 16th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Felt
This is another one of those multifunctional table wares (table runner, pot holder….) like the previous green one. The orange is not quite so…fluorescent really. I can’t get that colour to show properly…but anyway…I made the green and this one last week and I’ve been a bit lazy with the photo editing…
Este es otro de [...]

Multifunctional for the table
August 15th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Felt, Fibre Art
I’ve been making these for a while but never put one in the shop, until someone came over for dinner and saw that I could put all hot pots and pans on the table on top of this woollen cloth, without burning the table or running around looking for a bunch of place mats oro [...]
