Felt,Stitch and Embellish fibres

more work

Turning the whole process on its head and printing in midway felting cycle here we have circles and meadow seed heads.

Silk chiffon dyed with gaye wool/silk dyes then felted onto 100gms needlefelt-half black, half white—-put in soda ash water ,dried, then the screen print put on.

Screen printed with seed heads and quotations

Now will see if this dries as I expect and how it looks when the felting is finished off,of course it has to be steamed as well.

    Love the first pic. I wouldn’t have thought of printing halfway through. Must try and see if it gives a nice distortion as you finish felting. More of a blur?
