Circular reversible felt vest

I sold this reversible circular vest yesterday on the market. I loved it, my daughter loved it and my neighbours on the market loved it. And still it went to someone else, lucky person. It is a great lesson to learn to let go. I will though make a similar one maybe this week. I love using recycled materials, lace and doilies in felt. It is such a great way to reuse them. All the colours in this one were natural dyes, lace included.

 

Lavender Curls

As promised, here is the finished felted poncho that I made with the eco printed silk from previous post.

Freeform Lace Shawls

First I wish everyone a very creative and abundant new year.

I made some new freeform lace shawls this week. Together with my daughter we have been assembling, stitching until we couldn't anymore.
Here are some pictures already, more to come:

This is what happens when my daughter doesn't feel like modelling.


You can find them all and many more in the shawls section in my etsy shop

Time goes fast

I was just looking at the date of my last post and realised that it is a while ago. Well, maybe that means that I am very busy creating. Yes, indeed. I am selling lots at the local Port Douglas markets and need to constantly make more stock.
I have been making lots of nuno felt scarves, nuno felt tops and rust tunics. I started making my silky nuno felt ponchos again, because they are so popular. People love them and I get a lot of positive comments on my natural colours as well, which is encouraging.
I really enjoy the dyeing on the moment and love to experiment with it.
I will post some more photos of my work soon.

A Freeform Week

Last week, I decided to make some more freeform lace shawls. These are made by sewing pieces of felt and nuno felt together with recycled ribbon. My daughter (who is also in the photos) gave me a hand with the sewing, which was great. We went for white and blue. Here they are:

And another jacket: Desert Walk

A stunning jacket in nuno felt, made with organic merino wool and silk, both dyed with natural dyes.
This "desert walk" jacket, in browns and purple, reflects the energy and texture of the sand in the desert.
It is lightweight, so the kind to wear on cooler summer evenings.

Three beautiful shawls are gone.

Three beautiful felt art shawls have found a new wearer during the last week.

Violets
This purple nuno felt art shawl is very light and has 3 violets felted in it. It was dyed with natural dyes, logwood purple and brazilwood.


Evergreen
This is one of my freeform felt art shawls, incorporating different silk and recycled cotton fabrics.
The wool and the silk are dyed with indigo and mango leaves, the purple wool and silk were dyed with logwood purple.


Lavender Breeze
A balanced blend of silk and wool, in calming lavender colours. The silk was dyed with logwood purple and the wool with lac, both in very light colours. I love this one, it is soft and flowing.

Cherry Red - Felt Art Shawl

Cherry Red is a one of my recent felt art shawls in beautiful shades of red, obtained with natural dyes.

I love this one, especially the warm colour.

I arranged different pieces of nuno felt and stitched them together in a balanced way. It always takes a lot of time to find the right place for a particular piece of felt.

Awesome and it lends itself to many different occasions.

Forest Floor - Felt Art Shawl

I have been busy locally and did not take much time for blogging or internet in general for a few months now.
Today, I listed a new item "Forest Floor", a nuno felted and hand sculpted felt art shawl.
