***Felted Scarves***



Nuno-felted scarf

Here is my latest nuno-felted scarf. It is a cobweb-style wet felted scarf with embellishments using silk chiffon. Below is a close-up of the silk chiffon incorporated into the felted wool.

Felted infinity scarf

I made this wet-felted scarf using several layers of wool roving and then felted the two ends together to make it an infinity scarf.

Alpaca wool cobweb scarf

This scarf was made using dyed alpaca wool roving. Alpaca wool is very soft. I used just two layers of thin pieces of the wool roving plus the decorative wool embellishments, so the scarf is also very light.



***Cat Cave - Wildflower Weed***



Wildflower Weed Cat Cave



For Christmas I made my brother and his wife this cat cave. After completing the finishing touches, I realized the flowers reminded me of "wildflowers and weeds," which just happens to be the name of their band based in Sonoma, CA. How fun is that?

I sure hope Jewel likes it. I'm waiting for them to snap a photograph of her enjoying her new cat cave so I can post it.

To make this cat cave I used a piece of plastic shelf liner cut in a circle measuring 30-inches across for a resist. It took approximately 12-ounces of wool roving and the finished cave measured approximately 23-inches across. (For complete instructions on how to make a cat cave see my ***Cat Cave*** blog post dated March 2, 2013)

After the vessel dried, I added needle-felted  flowers, weeds and grass as embellishments.

The finished project...a nice place for kitty to hang out, as well as a unique piece of felted artwork.

It is fun creating felted vessels. I'm already planning my next vessel project...a birdhouse.
