I was on a roll for a short moment there and actually found time to post on a regular day. But, alas, life got complicated again.
What I have done recently is list a couple of handmade felt berets in my etsy store. I thought with winter on the way, there may be a few people out there who are looking for something beautiful and original to keep their heads warm.
So, here are the first two.
They are made using wet felting techniques. I have incorporated bits of shiny silk and tissue silk to create texture and tonal changes. They also have threads of brightly coloured silk that catch the light and make the surface even more interesting.
I am fond of making long tails on my berets. It is just another design detail that sets these ones apart from your stock, standard, mass produced item.
They remind me of the beautiful textures you find on rocks and trees which are covered in lichen and moss.
If you like them they are available in my etsy store
