Two weeks ago my friend Antoinette and I got together in her beautiful backyard to batik some silk fabric which we would later nuno felt. For more information on the batik process click HERE. Yesterday we got together at my house for the nuno felting portion of our textile adventure. I had hand dyed some wool roving and other silks to coordinate with the batiks we did.
I started off with a piece of the batiked silk 132" long by 19" wide and after the felting process, the finished scarf was 89" long by 10 1/2" wide. I am so pleased with all the texture, the color and the drape. This scarf is beautiful and so different on both sides. The one side mainly shows the batik fabric texturized from the wool roving that was placed on the other side. The reverse side shows all the other elements I added in - the wool roving, the silks, ribbons, cut up and repurposed UFO knitting projects, etc.
Here's the finished scarf/shawl

ReplyDeleteWell done
Your nuno felting turned out absolutely beautiful. I watched your YouTube video on batiking, too. How lovely! I have just begun experimenting with both batiking and nuno felting -- combining the two is a brilliant idea. You ladies look like a lot of fun to craft with. Too bad I live in Arkansas, so far from California. Happy crafting!
ReplyDeleteYour work is so beautifully inspirational, and has shown how batik and nuno felting can be incorporated with stunning results.
