Rippling sand in more ways than one.

It has been a few weeks since my last post and for that I apologise. I've been busy taking my daughter to numerous hospital appointments as she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. At 38 years old with two young children, you can imagine the shock for her and her family.

I am trying to snatch some spare time to do some felt making as I find it is so theraputic especially at stressfull times, so please be patient with me if I don't blog as regular as I would like.

My latest venture into feltmaking has been making some elastic structured felt. I bought the book 'Filz Experiment' by Annette Quentin-Stoll and although the book is in German, the excellent photo's give you some idea as to what to do. I started off making a few small pieces which I made into brooches and have just managed to find time to place them on Etsy. 

You can find them HERE

I've also made a cuff and as I'm keeping that myself I haven't photographed it yet. I'll show you that in my next blog.

Nuno felt purse/pouch with vintage silks. Christmas gift

http://www.etsy.com/shop/feltissimo

This is a very useful purse pouch made from handmade felt and antique and vintage silk fabrics. Because the silks were felted into the merino wool fibres they have shrunk and have given this new fabric a wonderful texture.

Vintage bugle and square cut beads have been added as further decoration. It fastens with a large antique press stud.

 This is a very useful purse pouch. Ideal as a glasses case. Wonderful Christmas gift .

 Measures - 16.5cms wide x 10cms (6.5" x 4") when closed.

I have removed the vintage fabrics from my etsy 'Feltissimo' shop but I will be listing vintage trims there in the hope that crafters or artists will be able to use them within their textile art.

I am hoping that all of my previous customers will be pleased to know that I have revived 'Rag Rescue' and vintage fabrics can now be found on my etsy shop 'RagRescue'

http://www.etsy.com/shop/RagRescue

I hope that this is a more logical way for customers to find what they want quickly.

Just a taste of what is soon to come in my etsy shop.

Vintage French fabric with autumnal colouring.

I just adore the design on this vintage French fabric. The flowers are superb abd the dark red wine colour makes the flowers jump out at you. This would be superb if it was added to a cushion/pillow front. The fabric is very strong. A great Autumnal colour which could be used also at Christmas.

Now in my 'Feltissimo' etsy shop.
