Making Felt

I got inspired to make some felt today using the wet method instead of needle felting which I usually do.  It's a lot of fun, though messy and wet. You basically need wool roving, hot water, dish soap, bubble wrap and nylon net mesh (the kind fruit gets packaged in). Here are my samples from today.

This image is from an art project I did in an old book. I gesso-ed the pages then did collage and printing with found materials. This one uses bubble wrap and an old hat making supply catalog that was my mothers. She made hats and other cool things. That's where I get my love of making.
