Copper Silk

Here’s some silk I dyed with acid dyes combining Aztec Gold and Chestnut Brown in an attempt for copper colored. I tried this due to a discussion I had with Anne on the felting forum. I think I should have added more brown and a slight touch of red.

Garden Inspiration Challenge


This is my garden inspired challenge. Needle felted on a commercial fabric backing, wool locks, silk hankies and specialty yarns. I am making it into a small quilted wall hanging. The flowers are made from silk hankies that were sprayed with spray starch and then shaped into flowers and ironed.

Brown Challenge


I am participating in the Needle Felting Challenge. I started with the latest challenge which is brown. This is a 4″ x 6″ postcard with a commercial fabric backing, llama, wool, silk and a variety of specialty yarns. The inspiration was a photo I took in the woods of a pile of broken pine cones.
