"Sea & Wave" - the theme of the wool felted bottle cover.
The blue sea with rough wave is inspiration for the making.
與媽媽共度時光, 教她一點手藝創作, 活動記憶, 早上在碼頭看海看浪, 回到工作室就以 "海浪" 作羊毛氈瓶子的創作靈感., 這 "浪花" 瓶子就是她跟我一起完成, 不錯哩 !
Quality time with loved ones is not necessary materials-wise. Being
together to do some interesting things may be a good time. Last week I spent a couple of days with my mum in my studio. In the morning we went to the pier to see the early fresh fish sale then strolled along the promenade and the beach. From there we picked some fallen nuts. Those hard pods are nice collection.
My mother knows I always do wool felt stuff but does not know how did I make it.
I took out the materials for the setting. Some wool fleece and mulberry silk as well a foam template. She recalled what we saw in the beach and tried to imagine the layout. She layered the white Icelandic wool then a little blue shades of merino wool and the curly white fleece. This is what we called "sea & wave" and this way to stimulate her imagination.
After the layering and rubbing.........
Put it over the rose wine bottle and shaped it with soapy water
In a short while it's mounted in a bottle. This simple and easy craft is good for beginners.
A bottle of "Sea&Wave" captured our moments together. It can be a vase or ......
........a container for the capsules - the time capsules of our moment. I'm happy my mother made this, it's a nice keepsake.
Heidi is my good friend since teenage. We’d lots of travels together. We’ve been to China, to Sausalito, Alcatraz Island in the States, walked the dogs with Jan in Gloucestershire. She’s a cheerful lady, with her company I’ll never bored. What made us most impressive was the journey to Provence, France. On our way to Nyons from Montepillar we passed by the lavender field – the first sight of lavender made us excited.
The bottle was made with memory of our brilliant days in Provence.
Wet it and do the rolling and fulling . 
Cut the top and removed the resist then put on the bottle to shape it fit.
Heidi, this little bay in Stanley surely reminisces your childhood when you stayed in your uncle’s quarter during summer vacation.
Round sides of the bottle - house and trees.
These are tulips. 
This is a small bottle I first tried. Good as a hanging vase.
To make it I first have to do some pre-felt and cut the shapes.
I like the bottle shapes of jam and have kept some after consumption.
This small Brand's chicken essence bottle is also good to do with.
Finally I made the bottles and with my home made
