Felt making

 

Tennis ball wraped in felt. In retrospective i could have added more felt and have been less delicate with it.


laying down the first layer of felt

 after the various colours have been layed down
 water is then sprinked over the felt and the felt is patted down

 then its wrapped up . The water is rolled out of it
 the end result is the felt is mashed together although the felt itself is still damp. After it was dried in the drier i was left with this horrible thing.


the tennis ball felt wound up with a handle. A happy little accident
The bacon looking thing was another attempt at felting. It was wrapped around a tube. Once again i could have put a ton more felt onto it.
Will update this post with the photos of the bacon tube finnished. Which one can slightly see on the panda mask above.
