there are many different colored wool hearts on the table top, and one is pink, blue, green, yellow, red

I just finished an order of hearts for The Walker Art Center Shop in Minneapolis and thought I'd share some of the color here. These little niblets are made entirely of wool by needle-felting wool roving. In case you don't know what needle-felting is, I'll give you my version. (because sometimes I live in a craft bubble and assume that everyone knows what needle-felting, roving, mordants, mod-podge, etc. is) So wool fibers are hair, and these hairs have scales on them. Their surfaces are…

three pieces of felt sitting on top of a quilt

Our friend Jen showed us a new way to play with wool - yipeeee!! Really. If you are at all into making things with wool, you need to try this. I have no idea what to call it - I've been googling all kinds of descriptions just to see what all a person could do with this, but I'm not coming up with anything! (ok, I just went and looked again.

Stages of the wet felting process, including separating wool roving soaking a piece of green handmade felt and holding a finished piece of green felted fabric. The title reads "wet felting wool fabric - how to wet felt"

Learn how to wet felt wool by making a piece of handmade felt fabric. This is a simple step by step tutorial to learn the basics of wet felting. Once you master the basics you can then apply them to any felting project. To keep it even more simple you can leave out the embellishment fibers and multiple colors and just felt wool of a single color. #felting #wetfelting #howtofelt #handmadefabric #wool #woolfabric #craft #craftidea #howto #feltwool #felted #howtowetfelt #fiberart #fiberartist…

a close up of a flower made out of wool

Well its been very busy around here. We are leaving for the family cabin in BC on Monday and I am frantically trying to pack enough art/craft supplies for the kids(...and of course me!). CABIN CRAFTS......I try to think ahead with some planned nature type stuff but you really never know what the kids will be in to. My oldest and I have been making these wool roving flowers. I have carded roving lying around because I like to felt and use it to stuff dolls and stuffies with. We have been…
