Holland windmill - felted handbag

Today is great weather. On the street golden Polish autumn. The sun no longer shines so brightly, and I could take pictures of a new handbag - Holland windmill. This handbag is made in a set for a vest My Amsterdam. I will take photos of the whole set at the exhibition.  

Warm alpaca jacket

It is getting colder, and on such days I offer a warm felted jacket with alpaca fiber. A jacket is completely made of alpaca fiber, which is warmer than sheep's wool. The sleeves are knitted from yarn which I made myself from alpaca fiber. 

   

 

 

My experiments with the form in the felt.

I love to make interesting textures and shapes in felt. Every day I do things that you can wear, or use as it is - these are scarves, bags, tunics, clothes. But sometimes I find time to experiment. This time I tried to make shapes with edges and the texture of a tentacle octopus. I made a few samples, but with these I was pleased. From one sample turned out a necklace

Warm Felted hooded poncho with eco fur

It is getting colder outside, and you want to wrap yourself in a warm fluffy poncho. This poncho is made of soft and delicate wool of English sheep, has a cotton lining, the hood comes off and you can wear it without a hood. If you fasten the buttons with the side, you will get sleeves.

The beginning of a new project - knitting a triangular shawl.

Today I start knitting a triangular shawl. I spun the threads myself during my summer travels to England and Latvia. Now I have 180 grams of yarn. For this yarn, I interfered  merino wool with silk and viscose fibers, and alpaca fibers. I bought a spindle and some wool at an English wool factory World Of Wool . I brought alpaca fibers from England. This will be shawl- a memory of summer travel this year.
I plan to make a shawl with a simple scarf pattern, since the threads contain small patches of alpaca and fibers, and I want these irregularities to be better visible.
And make a border of the waves below the shawl.

Felted jacket with 3D pieces

In this jacket I used pieces of already felted felt. I had a sweater that I had been doing for a very long time, and I do not like it. I cut the sweater into strips and circles, and laid it on the table, then I put the wool and viscose on the lining. After felting, I got a jacket with convex stripes. 

Nuno felted poncho with animal print

I made a new poncho on Saturday. I used a cotton shawl with a animal pattern, cut it into several pieces. At first I put the fabric with the print,and I put the pieces of fabric on the remaining places that repeated the pattern a little. I filled empty spaces with viscous fibers of beige color. Next, I put 2 thin layers of wool, and the lining was also made of viscose fibers.

Nuno felted jacket with art texture

I like to create such things in them a rich texture, the use of different materials and a free form. There are no restrictions on the size, color or texture. In this waistcoat I used several pieces of silk with eco-print. During the summer I did many print samples with leaves. Some turned out very well and the leaves are very clearly visible. On the other leaves only as a shadow. I decided to use these pieces to create a vest. The colors are already autumn. The base color is warm brown, I added green to it, and dawned a few smears of yellow, using cotton and silk fibers.

Botanical print on the cotton Tshirt

Ecoprinting is the process when real plants leave their prints on the fabric.
We collect leaves from trees in gardens or parks and they leave their unique trace on the fabric. Each sheet leaves a unique imprint on the fabric. Very much depends on the tissue itself, which must be carefully prepared. And also from the leaves. We collect leaves from famous trees that are rich in tannins. These leaves leave very distinct prints.
