Buda With Purses

He looks adorable

Felting With Lou Lou 101

Since I have been writing for Craft Gossip I have been experimenting more and more with felting.  This pendent was knit with KNIT PICK Palette 100% wool yarn in white.   After knitting it, I put a piece of a bamboo skewer vertically and one horizontally and then hand felted it in the sink to control the process.  I crocheted a necklace and machine felted this.  The lime glass beads are hand sewn in a constrained design.  I love it and enjoyed this experiment.   Doesn’t my Buda look lovely?

Felted Sea Glass Necklace

I created this felted necklace after caning off-white roving with a little mixture of yellow and blue in the middle of the cane. This was wet and needle felted. I then added sea glass, extra roving, and mother of pearl disc with a tiny bead. After adding a jump ring I used strand of ribbon like yarn for necklace and strung a felted ball for interest. If you have any questions about the felting procedure just ask.

Felted Wool Purse

This purse is made of wool felted and then felted with roving.  The scroll work is done in wool yarn and then machined stitched.  The lining is a beaded material and the strap is a designer scarf.   The flower is made from wool felt and roving.
