FELTING



This is a felted honeycomb shawl, the felt has been created with interesting holes in it and crazy irregular shapes. I love the organic and rustic look of this felting. I like the textural appearance of felt, and I am thinking of experimenting with felt and going down this pathway for my overall direction in the craft studio. The colour of this shawl also appeals to me, I am fan of tha natural colour palette and I like felting done in these natural tones. I can't stand the bright colours all felted in together that you see so often a craft markets, I think that felting done in more muted tones is much more refined and yet has a rustic and textural aesthetic. This is something that I want to develop and work on further.
