There is a wealth of information about felting on the internet, that is where my journey started too but if you can get onto a course with someone whose work you admire you will learn some new techniques and how to feel when the felt is ready for different applications. This was something I found could not be learned from the internet.<br />The fabric used in the piece above was cotton muslin (sometimes called cheesecloth) both this, cotton scrim (has a much looser weave) and silk chiffon are great fabrics if you are just starting to laminate felt with fabrics. Other fabrics that laminate well are silk ponge / lightweight silk and organza but they can be a little more challenging. As a general rule almost any fabric that you blow through and can feel your breath on your hand on the other side has felting potential, natural fibres tend to be easier to felt than synthetics.<br />Good luck and let us know how you get on (feel free to post a link here).Teri Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13420654858641530537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8141045151738705288.post-6259985696745127922014-01-22T16:18:39.422+00:002014-01-22T16:18:39.422+00:00Hope you receive comments for older posts--is the ...Hope you receive comments for older posts--is the fabric you started with cotton, or another fiber (like silk)? I've recently started wet felting and am trying to learn about it from blogs and videos on youtube mostly.Laura McGrathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14314349729986876724noreply@blogger.com
