Flower pins

This week I made these five felted flower brooches to bring light colors to the season.
I made them with merino wool 19 microns (80%) and silk (20%), using the technique wet felting.
With a safe pin on the back you can easily attach it to your coats, cardigans, dress, scarf, bags, hats, or where your imagination chooses.

Burlap&Lace Wreath

I had seen this burlap and lace mix before so I decided to make my own version of it. I first made the core of my wreath with a pool noodle that I bought from a Dollar Store. I wrapped it with twine making sure it was very sturdy, then started making these burlap flowers in two tones. Then I put all pieces together and my first burlap/lace wreath came out and I can't wait to make another one.

FELTING.... what is that??

Handmade Felting is the process of manipulating fibers until they matt and then shrinking the fabric to make the fibers lock together. Handmade felt is typically made in one of two ways: it is either made through the wet felting process, which involves wetting the fibers and agitating them until they have locked together to form a sturdy cloth or through needle felting. Needle felting uses a special needle or set of needles to blend the fibers together.

Wet felting can be done with animal fibers such as wool, whereas needle felting can produce felt from any fiber. All Fatima’s pieces are made with these techniques. She will be happy to answer any question about her work.
