I LOVE WET FELTING!

I was thrilled to take part in a wet felting workshop led by international felting artist Andrea Graham.  The workshop was hosted by another talented felting artist, Chris Ferguson, who also provided the group of eight with a wonderful lunch!  It was a truly inspirational day!




layers of raw rovings;  felting embellishments that were made earlier in the day are set on top; ready to start felting




a thin layer of mesh is laid over the whole piece; wet down with water and soap; start tamping down to take air out of rovings, and set the piece in place




lay a thin layer of plastic over the wet and soapy piece; run water all over the top of the plastic, and rub in a circular motion with soapy palms........ this process takes about an hour!

My finished piece - CRAZY FUN!!!!!
