When I'm not making Felted Mini Art Quilts, Vessel and Brooches for my Etsy
Shop, I like to go Bigger, Different, Artsy and
"Let it Rip"!!!!!!!
This is the third wallhanging I've made. I'm finding I enjoy using fibers, yarn, threads and my own felted cords to make something what I consider, very unique! Here I have used wool and acrylic yarn, sari ribbon, ribbon yarn, baby camel yarn, my Merino wool felted cords, rayon thread from a fellow Etsyian and Yes, a Q TIP!
I will keep working on it, give it a name and perhaps sell it. I would like to have a new section for SensoryFelteds which would include these hangings. We'll seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

Here's a shot of it still on the loom - haven't finished it quite yet. I've left several felted cords hanging. |

Painted and NOT re-cycled Q TIPS in Metallic copper and gold |

A side view. You can see a nice little bead hanging onto a cord. |
|
A ribbon yarn in rust shades is used for the set up. Notice how this peachy sari ribbon looks like little pods when woven. It folds over itself and gives a great dimensional look. You can also see on the white acrylic yarn, I have added little stitches done with shiny rayon thread. |

Here's is a closeup of the Q tip which is caught in a felted cord. The cord has three colors and the shiny gold is reflected in the gold Q tip. I also used the same ribbon yarn (set up) for weaving. It too folds on itself. |

Buster in the afternoon sun - "Hey, I want my picture taken. After all, I DO match that thingy you're making!" |
Hi Connie, greetings from the cold and grey UK! Lovely to *meet* another felter. BTW, although we did have exceptionally bad snow this year, it is a fact that we also are pretty bad at coping with the slightest amount of snow - I have Canadian friends who find it all very amusing!
