Making Felt

The first day back at college after the Christmas break, and wasn't I pleased to be back in the place I feel comfortable. I was beginning to become so bored at home not having the correct equipment to experiment with. This whole first week back is RESEARCH week, where we become familiar with our new brief and begin to research everything about it. We got taught how to make felt, I've made it before but in a different way, so it was interesting to see the other ways in which you can make it. With felt the process itself is quite tedious but I think the outcomes can be beautiful it's so interesting how small fibres can be bonded together using only water, soap and a bit of elbow grease. I hope to continue experimenting with felt by stitching over it and combining it with other fabrics. Below are some photos of my felt.
