Over the last couple of weeks I've been tinkering around, felting lanterns from Swaledale..
 |
| Working inside out |
 |
Using merino fibre and prefelt for simple design elements.
With Wensleydale locks along the top |
 |
2 layers of Swaledale
and a little merino detail that will show inside the glass lantern |
 |
| Throwing |
 |
| Massaging it on to the hurricane lantern |
 |
All different
8 lanterns and the pot from last time |
 |
| At night |
This morning I delivered them to the gallery shop at Haden Hill House (one of the museums I used to work in).
Mmmmm love the light shining through .... !
ReplyDeleteThanks for focusing on Swaledale! It's so interesting to see what else can be done - I think I need to move on from slippers etc and make more use of this pretty sheep's fleece! I love the shapes of the vessels and they look so delicate too. Fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lanterns - I like the simple but very effective pattern.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lyn & Els :) xx
ReplyDeleteGill, you are welcome :) I love your wonderful strong, thick Swaledale felts! I went with thinner things because I didn't really have that much to play with.. and a little goes a long way with these projects :) x
These are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lindy :)
