Squiggles and Circles in the Raw

Creating Nuno Felt

Red and Black

What do you get when you nuno luscious Red BFL roving and chunky wool yarn onto black cotton scrim?

Open Spaces

Drawing With Wool

These new scarves are wool line drawings.  The lines meander along the length and width of the base fabric, with an eye as to how the piece will rouche up , and the drape that forms from the manipulation of the fabric.  It is pleasing to work in this free and flowing style.

After Felting

A few New Scarves

I call this one "Cloudy Rainbow"

"Soft Celery" is the name of this fringy ruffle.

I listed four new scarves on Etsy today, each one with it's own unique character. You can see them at www.arlenewatson.etsy.com

I am so fascinated with Nuno Felt and have a flood of ideas in my head for future pieces.  

That could explain why no two of my nuno scarves are alike.  

I love to create Nuno Felt and find great joy in teaching others how to do it.  

Tomorrow I have five women coming to my studio for a two day Nuno Felt Workshop.  This process brings creativity alive, and I experience that all the time with the students in my classes.   Seeing people excited and happy with what they are learning is wonderful.  I find that felting offers elements of magic and metamorphous with delightful results.
