Retreat - Felt, Silk Paper and Stitch


Whilst on retreat I spent some time experimenting with wool and silk fibres. This piece above was wet felted using a resist under the blue circles. The wool fibres in the piece below were combined with textile medium to make a soft paper.


I used the textile medium again to make these pieces with silk fibres. I've stitched free motion over some of them using a water soluble stabiliser. I may stitch a bit more before washing it out.





I used my felting machine and acrylic felt to get a similar effect. As you can see I have quite a bit more stitching to do.
