I have been intrigued by embellishing/dry felting for some time and seem some lovely work done by other people. Last week I took the plunge and bought a machine never having met one before and have had a great time felting small pieces of knitting on it, prior to adding wisps of fleece and wool tops. Today was only the second time I have used it and I am amazed at how easy it has been to adapt from using a sewing machine to working on the embellisher.
I love the texture of these three pieces. They have a look of gardens and plant growth to them, though the colours of the bottom piece are all wrong for that theme. I am still thinking about what to make with them and so far think they will be mounted on artists canvases and possibly become little landscapes.
These three are quite smooth by comparison and have quite a different character.
These are different again. It's fascinating to see the variation made by using a different type of yarn. All the colours are stronger than they appear in these photos - I really must get my camera adjusted to give more accurate colouring. I think I would like to incorporate appliqued shapes or hand or machine stitched shapes - perhaps leaves - in the foreground. I need to work things out in my mind and on paper before going much further. Don't watch this space in case things don't work out!!
