My Gallery of Creations

I am taking this opportunity of having my own site (grin) to put up some of my own handcrafted jewelry and crafts. I will try to catalogue them as best I can for ease of access. There will usually be quite a lot of pictures of the same item from different angles. Not so much for show and tell as for my own personal record in case I need to make something similar or have forgotten how something was done.

I will probably host gallery of other artists' work later or just general gallery of images (when I get time).

Making Felt Balls from Wool Roving

my first felt ball

Making Felt Balls from wool roving ~ I had so much fun with this and it is so easy to do! I was shopping for felt wool so I could learn how to crochet and knit felt. And I saw all these funny looking wool that was not yarn.

Felting & Beading

As I contemplate my fist felting project, I know I want to add some bling and beads to the felted project. (What actually happens in the end is anybody's guess at this stage!) But I cannot decide whether to bead and then knit/crochet and then felt, or whether to complete the felting project and then embellish.

A few of the questions I want answered before I start in earnest are:

Knitting and Crochet Felting Samples

I read that felting shrinks your pieces more lengthwise than it does widthwise, so I decided to do some experiment as soon as my new felting wool arrived. All yarn shown here are 100% wool. This was done by hand felting.

I also did both knitted and crochet swatches as there is not a lot of literature on Crochet Felting and I wanted to see for myself what the difference was and why it seems less popular than felt knitting.

Wool Felting

Articles related to wool felting, materials needed, how to, tips and tricks, felting tutorials.

Felting is not just for wool but can also be done with other animal fibers like llama, alpaca, rabbit, dog, and so on. Best to have 100% but according to the literature, over 50% of animal fiber will also work. You need to test out for yourself. Felting however cannot be done with silk, rayon, synthetics, viscose, acrylic, and other yarn contents.
