Remember the wonderful time we had at Second Thursday this month with Jan showing us a couple of felting techniques? Today I wanted to experiment with stitching on one of my flowers.
 |
| Jan told us that the felt has "memory" and that if we put a rubber band around the wet felt it would hold that shape later. |
 |
| And it did! |
 |
| This inside of my flower -- the colors are a little off in this lighting...better ones later on in this post. |
 |
| I have lots and lots of colors of embroidery thread. I'm not trying to say that I am good at embroidery, but I do have fun playing with the thread and colors and stitching. This is how you learn, right...early projects and practice, practice, practice! |
 |
| This part is pretty well felted together...only a few tiny spots are not totally connected... |
 |
| ...but I wanted to have the illusion that the stitches are holding it on -- plus the color of the thread matches the fiber so well. |
 |
| I have only just started on this flower -- I want to do a lot of embellishing with threads and fibers and maybe some tiny beads. This is closer to the true colors. |
 |
| The inside -- truer colors version. |
