nuno felt

I have eventually finished my first piece for this year, for the City and Guilds class. I made a set of felt accessories, including a pair of wristwarmers and a flower corsage. The inspiration for these items came from an annual flower from my garden last summer. It is a beautifully veined petunia......



A pretty flower but I looked up the "meaning" of it and it means anger and resentment!
My two pieces are made from nuno felt using dyed silk gauze as a ground.





I tried to make the flower corsage as similar to the petunia flower as possible.

 
I embellished both items with seed beads in various sizes.


Now just the paperwork to do and the accompanying book, better hop to it
Bye for now, ali.
