felting

Today I had a fun day with one of my good friends Katy, we both learnt a new craft, and felted!

firstly we started out doing some hats, I made a cone out of plastic and tried to shape the felt onto it

it didn't turn out to good as none of the fibres were bonding to each other :/

after that disaster, we tried to make some felt scarves

we made it a little thin...

mine..

then I tried to take the hat off the base.... big mistake...
it came out like some kind of squashed onion :(

but the scarf of felt turned out cool! bring on winter.. it was 42 here yesterday :(

Well done with the felting, it's not an easy skill to master. A a friend of ours who owned a shop in Beechworth couldn't get enough of the felted products to sell. But enjoying it is the main thing. J
