Original Wearable Art Give Away

Well the Jondaryan Woolshed Heritage Festival is over for another year and I am back to experimenting once again with my felt.  One of the most popular items I had on display was my cobweb scarf and there were many offers to buy.  Sadly I had to decline...... as the scarf was an experimental piece and I wanted to be sure it would survive normal wearing.  So I need a tester....someone to wear the scarf and put it through it's paces.

If you would like to have this original scarf for your very own ......and you are happy provide some feedback on it's wearability before the end of the year just leave a comment ANYWHERE on my blog...... your user name will go into the hat to be drawn on Felt United Day.  I am happy to post overseas.....but please check out any custom issues in your country before accepting.

Lots of catching up to do........I hope to have more on the Festival and new projects soon.

Cheers
Joan

  2. Hello Alan,
    You'll find the experimental process in earlier posts here under the label "Felted Scarves and Shawls". Cobweb strands of mohair were bridged across fine strips of very fine merino. So far it is holding well,but I would like to see if this will last with normal wear. Cheers Joan

  5. Hi Narelle and Vishnja,
    Thank you both for your comments. I am looking forward to getting feedback on the experimental scarf. I do hope to make more again this month ready for display at the Pittsworth Craft Market held 2nd weekend in Oct.

    Visnja, I am so sorry to hear about your cat. Perhaps some pictures and info on your new blog may help in locating him. I'd be happy to copy and paste a picture onto my blog as well.
    Best wishes
    Joan

  6. I am so intrigued by your felted scarves, particularly since they are not nuno felted. I live in Santa Barbara,CA and these would do very well here in the craft/handmade galleries! It's a scarf town winter and summer (most pretty close to the same thing). These are light enough to wear anytime and how lovely they would look for an evening out! Thank you for being part of the felting forum so we can see them.

  7. Hi kstmetal,
    Thanks for visiting my blog. It does sound as though the scarves would do well in your part of the world. I think I may need to post another "how to" so you can make some for your local handmade galleries.

    I wonder where this little one will land.
    Cheers Joan
