With a little "help" from Pickle
This photo was taken while doing the final shaping, I think it is really interesting how the colour of the silk changes when wet (pieces at the top of the picture).
The journey of a new designer-maker. A City and Guilds qualified felt maker, I love the magic of turning a pile of fluffy wool fibre into beautiful and functional fine felt and exploring new textile techniques.

The Finished "Leopard Print" Dress
As promised, here are some photos of me sporting the finished dress. I wore it to my Spinners Weavers and Dyers Guild AGM and it was a real hit!

Great job Teri - looks like you got a good fit and the textures are wonderful. Pickle looks very helpful :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work
ReplyDeleteThank you Teresa, I just took a look at your blog and you have made some gorgeous felt, the toddler jumper is just darling!
DeleteGreat job, Teri! Very interesting texture.
ReplyDeleteThank you Nada, I love the textured shapes but think I might also try your suggestion of using prefelts under the silk on one of my next garments, I think we will see a similar raised texture but also a "halo" of wool coming the the silk at the edges.
DeleteGreat colours of the nuno !!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Els, I am so happy with the colours! The photos really don't do justice to just how bright some of the blues are.
DeleteGorgeous, Teri! :)
