Being Creative - Ocean

This months Being Creative gave me the opportunity to dive in and so something I've wanted to do for ages!

Since the beginning of June I have wet felted 3 drops of ocean.....

This is a close up of the first..... as I was too excited to wait until the end of June to post about it, you can read all about it here and here

Here is the second one....before.....

with some silk and wensleydale curl waves.....

and after....

...and today I used some of the bits from here

to make this....

Its still drying so the colours are re-appearing slooooowly...you can just about see the silk shining on the fish....

I'm hoping for some better photos in sunlight!

I have loved the whole wet felting process....selecting the colours, wool and extras; hand blending and the amazing whispy colour combinations; laying out the design in all its fluffiness; watching it transform after peeling away the soapy wet bubble wrap; eagerly awaiting the colour changes as it dries; and gazing at the finished piece.

Above all I have found it extremely liberating as you never quite know how it will turn out..

..and it's so far always exceeded my expectations!

 

Thank you again Julia for your inspiring idea initiators!!

 

There will be more wet felting from Random Wooliness!!
