Hello, fellow felting enthusiasts. I’m happy to share my second completed project of this inquiry.
As for titles… Fall feelings? Autumnal arrangement?
It’s a simple series of small felted sculptures (that word does sound a bit elevated for what these are) – a pumpkin, a pear, an apple, a leaf, a heart, and a few globes – bound with a piece of embroidery thread.
After mastering the flattened heart for my last project, I felt ready to venture into new felting forms. I did consult this Youtube video to get some useful tips on making the pumpkin.
Many thanks to the video creator, who also, as it happens, has done a cool school project with mixed felting methods.
For the other shapes, I just applied what I knew and made it up. I usually work with collected leaves in the fall, in some crafting form, so it was fun to extend that ritual into a new medium, making the felted leaf.
All of the felt was leftover bits from my last project. Being forced to use colours based on what I had was actually a nice constraint. I’m pleased with the final project, which is now warming up the vibe in my bedroom, which has felt a bit sparse for my taste. Happy autumn to all!
