Nuno felt vessel

I usually make wool felt vessel with all the wools. After I learned the skill of nuno felt I discovered making a vessl with this skill is good for a glowing pot as it needs less wool and the texture is great.
I made this vessel with scraps of silk chiffon, mulberry silk and a few pieces of lace with a card template.

I put the silk chiffon scraps (better to soak into water and squeeze wrinkles before putting on) on the template and covere with white merino wool.



Sprinkle some water over it.

Put a white chiffon over it and turn it over. Do the same steps, put wool and silk scraps on the other side then enclose the whole template with white chiffon.

Roll it with bubble wrap and do the rolling. After fully felted, cut the top to open the "mouth" and shape it full.

A finished look - it can be a holder of your little treasure.

This is the other side of the look. The texture is what I wanted.

It is thin. If you put a LED lamp inside, it can be a glowing decoration.

Bright Jewelry Box

Last couple of weekends Eva and Amanda made a wool felted jewelry box and Katy made a scarf. To make a 3-D box with a round rim is a bit tricky. You'll see below how they made it. A finished box by Eva. I call it "jewelry box" as it can be used for keeping little treasures and the rib is rounded with beads and stones. Looks elegant, isn't it?

Or put a LED lamp inside it's romantic for candle light dinner !

The box with yellow flower was made by Amanda. She said the flower looks more like a coral then a flower. Katy made a scarf. I was intended to teach her a cobweb, instead she prefers a full scarf and made this nice and warm one.

After the box and scarf, I shown them to make a felted soap. Soaps with coat are lovely and typically cute with a sheep on it.

See how they made a box. First covered the resist with wool. After fulling & rubbing then cut the top lid and stitched the rib round and felt to the right size firmly. Finally decorated the lid with flower or anything.

To make a scarf is laying the wool and full it like this.
