Vest "Marble"

 

Vest "Marble. " This vest I made earlier than a skirt "Rose", but I long could not choose the button for him. I painted the silk "as marble, " I do not know is whether the marble of that color, but I really like this coloring. Hand coloring and painting on silk - very exciting.

When I started doing the hood, I thought: 'My God, why I decided to make the hood, well, why me all these difficulties? "

When I did the damn hood, I was very pleased with the result.

Skirt "Rose".

Finally I can show you my new work. In order to create it, I had to learn a new technique for me - batik. My hobbies occupy too much space. I do not know how my family still withstands it! First there was a table for felting (it is very big), and now the frame for batik ... The house is reigning my hobbies. What luck to have a family in which you have the support and understanding! I took silk, painted it, added hair and got Nuno-felt. This skirt has no seam on the wrong side.

The idea of this skirt came at me in the summer. Do not be too strict for my rose, I am not a professional artist.

 

I've still got a lot of silk ...

Why I like Felting?

I sew a long time and I love to sew. But, despite a large selection of fabrics in the stores, I often went away without buying. I do not find what I want. With the felt is easy: I simply create a "fabric" what I want. I am very pleased with the process and results! But ... Felt that I did - it's thick and the heat felt. Now I want a thin felt. I decided to make a Nuno-Felt and I bought a silk, a lot of silk. But ... Silk white. It seemed boring and I decided to paint it.

First way:

This was my first experiment in Nuno-felting. When the first joy had passed, I realized that I had to make a fringe. Young bush vines liked my scarf.
I already wrote that I bought a lot of silk?
