My first class of wool felt this year. Thanks for the girls who made these beautiful boxes in the start of 2011. Indeed, this open class of wool box making is the first one I run. I call this "Treasure Box" as I love it for keeping "little secrets". For people who're first encountered wool may find this craft amazing - how come it can be shaped to a 3-D box ! Yes, amazingly wool is a versatile media. While it's wet and fully felted you can make it round or square. Hope that people here in the tropical region will gradually find wool felting interesting. I love to share my skills and my next class will be making bracelet.
新的一年第一班羊毛氈課程，同學們做了這些盒子，看這些燦爛制作，正正開始我繽紛的一年。 我愛這些漂亮羊毛盒子，就叫 ”月光寶盒” 吧，讓它盛著小小的秘密，羊毛氈工藝就是這麼神奇，充滿創造性，搓圓按扁，做出立體形狀，希望香港有更多人喜愛羊毛氈工藝，下一堂將會教羊毛手鐲及手帶製作
，又一新嘗試。
Almost 3 hours, girls made these colorful boxes. The light yellow ones can be used as glowing boxes if a LED lamp is in.
Below is how they made it.
