YOJ09-09 Felt Bangle

Felt Bangle (2009)
Wool
7 cm i.d.
Wet felted

This is not the project I wanted to post this week, but the one I’ve been playing with most of this evening is being very stubborn.  I’m still struggling with finishing it.

I bought a bunch of wool roving yesterday, and spent part of this afternoon experimenting with wet felting.

I found a really good series of videos on wet felted bangles on eHow.com, so the technique was easy to replicate.  Unfortunately, there’s no indication of who the lady is in the videos – I’d love to give her the credit she’s due.

I made a bunch of different things, which I’ll be playing with over the coming days.  This was my first attempt at a felt bangle.  It’s monstrous, but a reasonable start.
