Dyeing Wool





Spent yesterday with Lidy and Bertina in her studio to dye wool felt. What a great day, we should definitely do that more often!

Gisteren heerlijk de hele dag geverfd in het atelier van Bertina met Lidy. Dat moeten we zeker vaker doen!

Embellisher

One of the nice things about felting with the embellisher is that I can use all kinds of material. For this piece I used fabrics like silk, organza and satin. I also used all kinds of wool, even wool that was wet-felted completely. To add things like velvet ribbon, which I coloured with Sharpies,  I used the sewing machine.


You can also see some embroidery by hand and some with the sewing machine.

Embroidery



We bought three old chairs from a thrift shop and refurbished and upholstered them with some old cross stitch tapestry.
