More felted wearable art in Feltissimo shop today.

FELTISSIMO SHOP

It has been quite a while since I wrote anything on here and I do apologise.

There has been so many things happening. Firstly I was preparing all of the food for our large 25th wedding anniversary party. Ever since we have been married my husband has been the cook in our house. He has been a star as it has allowed me to get on with my Rag Rescue and Feltissimo business (Now called RR & F Textiles).

However just for once I wanted to prove to myself that I could still cook and I did achieve my aim. I produced all home baked food, a three course banquet for three days for over 20 people at our house. It was wonderful but I was exhausted afterwards.

Then we went on a well deserved holiday, but whilst there I started working embroidering every evening and have continued since.

Yesterday I started putting some handmade nuno felt brooches into my etsy shop, perhaps you would like to have a look. they are great for presents, birthday, Christmas etc and can be worn, placed on bags, used like patches on pockets etc.

Here is a quick look at the ones I put on yesterday. If you would like to see and read more details then please click the link at the top of this post.

I post worldwide and take on commissions.

I have made this felt wacky house brooch and embroidered it with tiny pink flowers. Machine stitching with silver coloured thread outlines the house, windows and door.

I've stiffened the back of the brooch with a decovil light fabric and added a pretty pink 1960's vintage fabric with a pin.

I always send my brooches in a box and place this in a plastic mailing bag so that the brooch is kept dry during transit.

Felt brooch, sparkling island. Ideal Christmas gift

Just put this lovely felt brooch into my

 etsy shop

 My inspiration for this pretty felt brooch was a sparkling island and the sea as the sun shone down on them.

 I make all of my felt by hand layering wool fibres together and wet felting them so that the fibres become entangled creating a firm felt fabric. For this brooch, I have also added some silk fibres to give more texture. I machined around various areas of the island which has raised them up and added french knots in antique metallic silver thread. Running stitches in the same thread have been added to the sea.

Vintage fabric and pin on the reverse.

 

 The felt brooch will be packaged securely in a box. I will then place the box in a plastic postage bag to keep dry.

 

ONLY £6.50 and ideal little Christmas present

Christmas making for Christmas shopping

Well it's time to think about buying Christmas presents again. I'm starting to list lots of items in my etsy shop. Small items made from handmade felt and silk. Pretty brooches, pieces to hang around the house and even some to hang on your
special tree.

Felt and silk brooch in the shape of a boot. Christmas gift

A felt and silk brooch that I have made in the shape of a boot.

Now in my etsy shop 

 When making the felt my the wet felt method I covered the merino wool with pure silk. This has given the brooch a wonderful tactile smoothness. To get a spotted pattern on the boot I needle felted afterwards which has left tiny spots over the surface where the underlying wool shows.

The hand embroidery adds further detail and I used vintage silk threads to work stem stitch and french knots.

 Brooches need to be handled quite a lot, so in order to make the brooch firm, I have sandwiched a layer of Decovil light iron interfacing between the felt front and the vintage fabric back to which I added a secure pin.

 This pretty felt brooch will make a wonderful addition to a jumper, cardigan, dress or blouse. It would also look great on a bag.

The customer will receive the felt brooch packaged securely in a box. I will then place the box in a plastic postage bag to keep dry.

Feltissimo has many years experience of shipping items. I pride myself in ensuring that all items arrive at their destination in good condition.

Lilac garden felt brooch by Feltissimo

My inspiration for for this pretty felt brooch was a country garden.

I make all of my felt by hand, using Merino wool fibres. By using the wet felting method, I get the the wool fibres to entangle together to create a firm felt fabric. The machine stitching I have used on the felt brooch has raised some areas creating small flower beds which I filled with embroidery. A variety of stitches were used using vintage recycled silk threads. Further texture was added by using 1930’s rococco ribbon flowers. I also added on this brooch two other lilac vintage flowers, to make this felt brooch unique.
