Don't know if I have the eye for it though, only experience will tell. I also want to try hand needle felting and the machine. There are so many wonderful things to explore in life, don't you think?Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-24054295775894643122011-01-02T05:46:31.043-08:002011-01-02T05:46:31.043-08:00Shams, thanks for the post.

In my mind are gelling several possibilities and it is so great to see what you have accomplished. Thanks for the inspiration. <br /><br />Have you seen silk dupioni felted? It gives a really unique texture. There are no fibers added. <br /><br />I enjoy hearing about your creative history and exploits.

I have been quite interested in this art form for quite a while, but after spending quite a bit of money on Nuno felting books, the projects looked to labor intensive for my arms, hands, and ability. LOL. Anyway, I might try some tiny bit of dry needle felting as I am greatly impressed with your coat. Not that I am thinking of anything so grand in scale, but perhaps just a dot of color somewhere. Thanks again for all the joy and knowledge you bring to our sewing sites. You are indeed a true artist and a wonderful person.<br /><br />KarendeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-82154945114163355362011-01-01T12:34:11.209-08:002011-01-01T12:34:11.209-08:00Very comprehensive.
