3D and other felting treks

Expanding my felt play into 3D work is so exciting.  My first with using a relief was a beret style hat and from there a bell cloche hat.

A few days ago I experimented with making a cat cave.  It came out as planned but in the future will be adding more fiber as it could be a little thicker thus holding its form against rubbing cats.  It seems to have met approval, though if you look carefully I did have to lure him in with a bit of catnip.




I am looking forward to experimenting more with the relief process.(placing a piece of tarp, or thin packing foam between two layers of roving)

Also this week I have not abandoned the wonder of merino wool scarves and tried something new from a fellow felters blog post.  The results fun and airy.

Poppies 15"X22"

Decided to work on a new wall hanging as well. Inspired by the poppies that were covering my yard like a blanket.  I am in the process of planning out another with nebula in mind.
