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 [...]

Nuno felt -Hand dyed, originally uploaded by Marian Florcita.
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 [...]

Cords, green and purple, originally uploaded by Marian Florcita.
Spinning relaxes me. I don’t know if it is the rythmic almost monotonous sound of the wheel… but it just sooths me! I’ve been making some cords which can double as necklaces or bracelets. This one here has cotton, merino wool, silk, bamboo…and…….I think that’s it. It’s [...]

The post man came again (poor guy he comes here around 3 times a week… we are friends by now!) bringing me yet another package from Argentina. I am happy like a little kid when this man brings me boxes. This time it was a sample bag from Silvia Wolk.

Prefelts
July 14th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Felt, Fibre Art
Remember this wool? Well… even though it is like a million degrees out there and I only want to sit in the shadow and sleep read, I’ve started to make prefelts just like I always do. That is step number one. And all in the green range… so slowly, a new project is starting to [...]

Where did the week go? Brain is absolutely melted with this temperatures. But we soldier on and to prove it, Kim and I went wool shopping. Yeah… it’s 35C (95F) outside and we go buy wool… contradictions of life.
We made it a girly day out. We drove to Germany, just about 1 hour away… or [...]
