Wet Felted Wall Hanging

I call this wall hanging "fireflies in the garden" ... because of the way the way beads in the centres of the flowers catch the light.  The piece was wet felted on a warm sunny fall day a couple of weeks ago - then embellished with machine stitching and beads.

Rug Hooking - a few projects finished at last!

I've been jumping from project to project lately .... as a result, I ended up with several half-finished pieces, which "drives me crazy"!   So, with the weather turning chilly and gray, I spent a few cozy days at home, finishing things up!  What a good feeling!  Now I can get started on some new projects... A hooked rug is also among the newly finished projects and a pic will follow shortly.

Wet Felted Poppy Wall Hanging

The results of another beautiful warm day!  Unfortunately, the weather is turning now, but it's been a wonderful treat to be able to work outside.  This cheerful poppy wall hanging design was wet felted, then embellished with machine stitching for added dimension.  Happily, it was sold yesterday at the Lakefield Farmers' Market!

Rug Hooked Chair Pad

My hooked chair pads have proven to be very popular!  No need for matching sets; one chair pad can spruce up any occasional chair and add a bit of colour and interest to any room.  This is my latest - shades of gray with pops of red.

Wet and Needle Felted Wall Hanging

The background of this sweet little wall hanging was wet felted; the bird on a branch design was added with needle felting.  Ready to hang, the piece measures 10 1/2" x 11".

Primitive/Traditional Hooked Wool Rug

Although the pattern on this rug is called "hit or miss",the technique is really an exercise in precision and balance.   Hooked in rich tones of burgundy/wine - and balanced with shades of gray and pops of colour - I'm thrilled with the end result!

I photographed this piece at East of Eden Antiques in Woodview, Ontario.

Wet Felted Floral Wall Hanging

Well, as long as the sun keeps shining and the days are warm, I'll keep felting!  It's such a wet, soapy (and, in my case, sloppy) process, it's lovely to be able to work outside.   I suspect the warm colours in this piece were inspired by the touches of orange and red that are starting to creep into the trees.

I seem to be going bigger and bigger with my work - perhaps a felted rug is in my future?? This piece measures approximately 22" x 21".

Wet Felted Wall Hanging (or.....)

I'm so grateful to be able to work outside during these warm summer days we've been blessed with!

I created this sunny piece of felt with the intention of making it into a wall hanging - but I think it would also make a lovely cushion cover (if someone was so inclined!).  The entire piece was wet felted; and embellished with machine stitching and just a few little bright beads on each flower, just to catch the light.

Wet Felted & Embellished Wall Hanging

I loved the whole process of designing this wall hanging.  The whole piece, including the floral design, was wet felted; then embellished with machine stitching to add depth, and tiny beads to catch the light.  I took it to market today with the intention of getting some good photographs - but it sold so quickly I only had time to snap a few shots before wrapping it for the customer!
