Wool felt textures from one piece to 3 objects 質感的羊毛製作

Following my last post  of making a nuno felt multi-styled scarf-vest from a flat sheet, I used the scraps cut from that fabric corners to make other nuno felt textures - a 3D vessel and a hat. 

從原片布料到剩餘碎料的混纖羊毛製作, 前後做了被肩, 質感的帽子及立體瓶子.

 Patterns of the whole viscose of scarf-vest look like sea and swirls.  I added the curly Teeswater fleece to make the wave look.

 So I wanted the vessel also with the theme of wave and sea but with raw textures.  This was the layout. 

   The silly boy was loyal to safe guard the vessel drying

Somehow the outcome is not what I expected the "waves & blue water".

but the raw textures are fine.  The problem was I layered the whole template with all brown Finn wool before covering with the fabric.  So after rubbing the brown fleece come out and covered the fabric.

Anyway the earthy surface is OK

 

 So a 3D vessel is made with nuno felt viscose

 The stopper removable

 From the experience of the vessel making, I got what to improve.  I used the leftover of scraps to make a hat of same theme "waves & water".  The part with fabric covered was all white Finn.

The textures of the finished hat is clear.

 The three pieces of the same theme but different use - a decor vessel, a hat and a scarf-vest.

 "Can't you see me?"

A hat is light but warm in the walking.

Two-hole piece multi-styled wearable 簡易百搭被肩背心

 Following my last post of a two-armhole scarf, I'm really into the simple making with nuno felt and made a few.

A flat sheet of fabric with little wool fleece......

天氣漸涼, 絲巾加點羊毛, 不太 "沉重", 開兩個洞成為百搭被肩背心, 這幾件是近日的製作, 不同布料的效果, 都是輕巧飄逸.

 I turned it into a vest of styles - bottom with texture raw fleece

 Turn it upside down, a collar with wool

 The bottom of the back with wool fleece, the front is a soft draping

 This is not my design.  There're many styles of two-hole scarf wearable but it just hit my bell to do the nuno felt, simply without thread or needle and warm in the cool days.

For the sample of this style I used the ready made viscose long scarf. (38" x 72")  I cut off the corners to make it round, cut the arm holes then sealed with merino wool, the bottom part laid some Teeswater fleece and merino wool, all the round edge sealed with wool.  That's it.

I've made a few pieces with different patterns as giveaways for good friends.

 This black & white of branches & birds.  Airy and light I like most.

 The back look 

                                                                                     The front with a tie knot simply an outfit

 A scarf wrap around

 

This piece is more fall theme of yellow with tree branches

 Also multi-styles - back & front .   Tied with a wool felt brooch simply an outfit

 This gorgette silk I printed with euc and Lagerstroemia Indica (紫薇) collected in my area

 Palette of autumn leaves

 I walked in the area where I picked this Lagerstroemia Indica leaves

                       I also made it into a nuno felt scarf / vest

 

Well, these are the simple nuno felt wearable recently made. Still keen on experimenting different eco prints 

With the scraps cut from the scarfs, I played with textural surface and 3D making.  This object just done. Mogi is very curious about it.  What's it? Stay tuned, will post details next.
