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.
