We combined needle and wet felting today and started making felt beads or balls which ever way you want to call them! Lots of elbow greece needed to felt a piece of sheep fleece into a nice round shape. Soap and hot water too of course.
You can felt a piece of fleece into a ball without needle felting, but for a nice even shape with no lumpy bits we needle felted them first into rough ball shapes before plunging them into hot water.
We welcomed Varignia to the group of makers - she is a very talented crafter herself and uses recycled materials in her own creations.
Ah...another member of the group, Simon, all tangled up...
And the transformation of all those felted balls into a stunning necklace. This is Clare's masterpiece.
