Of all the items I made for the boutique at the
Elverhoj Museum, the fiber pins were the most fun to create. The first examples are felted using wool roving. A surprise package arrived in the mail from my buddy,
Susan Italo. She gave me some of her solar dyed
CVM Corridale wool.
OMG, I couldn't believe how
luscious the colors were. Thank you Susan!
The pins below were made using a stiff sheet of felt as the base. I stitched and drew on the sheet with markers and added a variety of thread and yarn. I cut it into shapes and dipped it into melted
UTEE and heated it some more. I then added a background of thick felt and stitched it together with beads.
I'm currently working on tote bags. Photos will be shown in the next post.
