I entered it in the Sydney Royal Arts and Crafts Show and was awarded a Highly Commended for it. Not bad for someone who has only been weaving for 6 months.</div>

Trouble is I am not very fast at knitting or crochet. Then someone lent me a small rigid heddle loom. I was hooked from the first piece.<br />
So this is a little visual storyline on how it all happens...<br />
<br />
I start by dyeing the fibre. In this instance I have chosen a merino roving and some mulberry silk tops. They start out white but after I have chosen and applied the colourway it looks like this.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Next I card and blend the merino and silk together into gradients of colour.<br />

These scarves are made from merino wool, felted into sheer black tissue silk and maybe some silk threads here and there to give the colours lustre. A special little feature at the centre are the little felted beads. Your scarf can be worn so that it looks like a scarf with a matching necklace. I will have a couple of these in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/BeljaysFelt">etsy shop</a> from time to time so pop over and take a look.</div>

The first three are images of a long, gossamer coat. It hangs to the hips at the front then sweeps to just above the ankles at the back. The upper layer is like an extended collar/cape. Very floaty when worn. Very hard to get a good picture of this one.<br />

I first started making something like this when my aging kittycat decided she would no longer use the garden for her business. Even if she was in the garden, she would run up the stairs to use her litter box. Weird huh?! Anyway this meant that I had to live with a litter box next to the back door (if I put it anywhere else she would still leave her business by the back door - consistent if a little inconvenient). <br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Two problems arose. The first was that I wasn't thrilled at the site of the litter box. The second was that she was a little shy and if anyone was in the room with her, she'd mooch around the box, but not go until her audience left. <br />

That was until I made her a kiteepee. She got the privacy she needed when going about her business and I got a much better looking corner.<br />
<br />
I had more than one kiteepee and it turned out that when I had them set up in a different room and not on the litter box, especially in winter, she quite liked to curl up inside them for a bit of a nap. This is when I started to make more upmarket ones to go with my decore. Which led to matching cushion covers and so on. I never did like those synthetic, nylon fluffy pet beds and, lets face it, they look pretty awful in the corner of a lovely lounge room. Whereas these can be designed to suit any theme.<br />

So I have set quite a few challenges for myself over the last few months. None of them have to do with being more frequent here unfortunately.</div>
<br />
The first challenge was a little nuno felt bolero with little ruffles on the front. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDIhuB7xctc5vcdShpxnLudwBMkuNg-JNbYfBSnjp_b0L6c2X06y41rJg0AtQDwunXO29PB1SAH0v_KuONjCPDYEuHG0-si6bkeRqfMZhLmfZB4axf4cBDPYVRqtYbGlzWovgeLSb3xFs/s1600/blue+bolero+b+jp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDIhuB7xctc5vcdShpxnLudwBMkuNg-JNbYfBSnjp_b0L6c2X06y41rJg0AtQDwunXO29PB1SAH0v_KuONjCPDYEuHG0-si6bkeRqfMZhLmfZB4axf4cBDPYVRqtYbGlzWovgeLSb3xFs/s320/blue+bolero+b+jp.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
<br />
The piece incorporates some beautiful silk that I dyed using shibori techniques. The main challenge, apart from designing the pattern of the bolero, was to keep the edges of the silk at the front from felting into the rest of the item. It is these free strips that have created the ruffles.<br />

<br />
I was really pleased with the result and entered it into the Queensland Royal Show, known as the Ekka. I was awarded a first prize in felt garments for it.<br />
<br />
My second major challenge had been creating a number of felted 2D wall hangings for an art exhibition in Sydney. I had to draw on my long background in painting and combine it with my technical knowledge of felting to make four works (3 here).<br />

<br />
The first has been cleaning up downstairs to make a studio where I can teach felting and fabric dyeing workshops. I'm nearly there, but still need to do a bit more work.<br />
<br />
In the meantime I have put together a great little kit for people who want to try their hand at nuno felting.<br />

The kits include all the fabric wool and embellishments as well as detailed instructions with lots of pictures. You need to get some bubble wrap and painters plastic dropsheets, and a few other easily acquired bits and pieces, and you are on your way.<br />
<br />
I have started with kits using cotton gauze as the base fabric. This is a really good fabric for beginners because the weave is very open and this makes it easier to felt into. <br />
<br />
The step by step instructions lead you through the process from laying down your bubble wrap, to different ways to lay out your wool and embellish it with silk threads, to rolling and fulling, to rinsing the finished item out and drying it.<br />

So these are just a few of them and they are going to look gorgeous as a group on stage. They are custom made to fit each lady. Some are very tall and some are very short to you can see the advantage of having them made to measure.<br />

It occurred to me that I should after a conversation with the lovely woman who commissioned this set. She kept asking what colors I had and I'd answer what colors do you want. It wasn't until I said that the silk started out white that she realised what I meant. Sooooo

This is a selection of silks that I begin with.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCG-BVaerE5M4F6yafE5U_I6Sz6zFqsYXD55OIk774PKIv-Y48Cyh-7NsFXBC5TXNz9fpoTpoB9RgaqlzTkzZ5e262xFfPjrk16seoVbuTjbWA1eodvocJyaV7lc6WwPgrf_CUgYhMCm4/s1600/stitch+and+fold.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="240" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCG-BVaerE5M4F6yafE5U_I6Sz6zFqsYXD55OIk774PKIv-Y48Cyh-7NsFXBC5TXNz9fpoTpoB9RgaqlzTkzZ5e262xFfPjrk16seoVbuTjbWA1eodvocJyaV7lc6WwPgrf_CUgYhMCm4/s320/stitch+and+fold.jpg" /></a></div>
I then dye the fabric a base color. The fabric is allowed to dry before being folded and stitched to create the shibori patterns.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoNOVYpF3efu74Pedo6gPXhHRJ4r03WbAwxWGVjG6mTedUnhdIfiZPWIcEe5E1-BnBMiXUi9l8s3-FUNnk_ufd6Z7PAp7LlhFsT9pHKa8Dyjb3TfUvccQsNBbZ4eiId78p895di8kUjGI/s1600/dye+pot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="240" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoNOVYpF3efu74Pedo6gPXhHRJ4r03WbAwxWGVjG6mTedUnhdIfiZPWIcEe5E1-BnBMiXUi9l8s3-FUNnk_ufd6Z7PAp7LlhFsT9pHKa8Dyjb3TfUvccQsNBbZ4eiId78p895di8kUjGI/s320/dye+pot.jpg" /></a></div>
This then goes into more dye pots, the number depending on the desired outcome.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is what it looks like partially unfolded.

Here is the same piece of silk fully unfolded but still wet.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And here it is dry and ironed. The colors are rich and lustorous with many subtle shades.

I then sew the silk into the item I am making. This is my little sewing corner. It was a very rainy day when I took this photo but the sense of the garden and light is still good.

It's 2013 already!
I've been steadily working with new ideas and have now combined two of my passions. Shibori dyeing and Bellydancing.

I have launched a range of pants and hip ties which are made to order, so they fit well. Each piece incorporates a hand-dyed design element, so no two items are exactly the same.

So far I have designed and listed lycra pants, with flared silk lower legs. The silk ripples and flows as you move and feels fantastic against your legs. They look great with a matching Tushi Tail hip skirt or under a full ATS/Tribal style skirt.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I also have a range of lycra straight leg pants with a shibori detail up the sides. These are fantastic paired with a lycra Tushi Tail, or with a coin belt. They are really comfortable and would work well for yoga too.

I am currently working a a few styles of tops to go with the pants, which I should have listed by the end of the month.
You will find them here

I worked hard challenging myself to make something special to enter into the arts and crafts competition at this years EKKA (Royal Queensland Show for those who are wondering what this is). <br />
<br />
I managed two entries. Both in the nunofelt section and both using the skills I learnt at the workshops at the ContextArt forums in Katoomba earlier this year.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I spent quite a lot of time stitching and tyeing silk then dyeing it using shibori techniques. I truly enjoy this. You always have an idea of what might happen in the process but the excitement of taking out the threads after the dye bath is exhilerating.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Following the dyeing, I cut the fabric and prefelted the pieces. Then stitched them together and fully felted them to make the finished pieces. Each piece took a full week to complete and both pieces offered unexpected challenges. But the outcome is really pleasing.<br />
<br />
And the most exciting part...<br />

I love this thing. It's just the right size and you can do all kinds of things on it. My only problem was what to carry it around in. My current shoulder bag had been too small. Most of the bags in the store where I bought it looked tooooo, nerdy?!? or ordinary. Not my style. So in my usual fashion, I made something to suit.<br />

A fully felted shoulder bag. The design features a brown black base of wool, with intensly colored textural highlight of silk/velvet. I just love the way the velvet crinkles up into a brain pattern when it is felted. I have used a wooden fob button to fasten down the flap. <br />

It fits my Ipad, with room for a small make-up purse, phone and keys, which is all I need.<br />
<br />
I got so many compliments on the idea that I am now making similar things for my Etsy store. I have just listed this one. It is made from wasabi green cotton canvas with one of my 2D felt artworks inserted in the flap as a design feature. A fun little piece to take anywhere.<br />

Kind of like little abstract paintings, but with felted wool and other fibres.
<br />
<br />
It's been interesting playing around with colour and composition and not having to take into consideration what size it will be and whether it will fit after its shrunk in the felting process. <br />
It has also been fun to see how that composition changes with the felting process.<br />

So, I'm having a little online exhibition which starts on 12 June and finishes on 1 July 2012. I would love it if you would take the time to have a look and leave some feedback. Either here or on my FB page. <br />
<br />
To get to the exhibition, just click on the Beljays Felt Online Store button on the right.BeljaysFeltnArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09923776203124722695noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7414981721327536312.post-27247971644195790992012-05-07T01:39:00.000-07:002012-05-07T01:39:30.833-07:00Making a Nunofelt Jacket with Lizzie HoughtonThe second workshop I attended at TAFTA's Contextart Forum was a nunofelting workshop with Lizzie Houghton.
Lizzie is a phenominal felter (and wonderful woman) from England and very well known internationally, so it was a special experience being able to attend one of her workshops.

Twelve of us gathered in the canteen and gym area of our venue and over the next four days achieved nothing short of a miracle under Lizzie's patient direction.

We began with 5 or so metres of silk. I hand-dyed mine some weeks before.

After cutting out the pieces and laying out the wool and surface decoration we began to see something taking shape.

and drying, not easy with the torrential downpour we experienced for 2 days but the sun did finally come out, and we had the makings of some very interesting fabric.

But when we stitched it up and tried it on, it was hard to believe that we hadn't got something wrong. Lizzie assured us it would be okay.

I wasn't until another day of hard work felting and fulling that we saw the wonderful results of this fascinating technique. Who would have believed the shapeless thing in the picture above could turn into the beautifully fitting jacket below.
