Second Quarter Challenge: Nuno Felt
This quarters challenge is about nuno felt. If you have never tried it, try it. Pick an open weave fine fabric and have ago. If you have tried it before put it on something you have never put it on before. If you make nuno scarves all the time try putting some fabric on a hat or pot or bag.
If that’s old hat they try some different fabrics, silk, cotton, linen, hemp, or synthetic.
If that’s not enough of a challenge try some fabrics you don’t think will work. Maybe thicker silk or cotton, maybe some lace or a woven plastic.
If you need some inspiration you can download Zed great book called: BEYOND NUNO: A Guide to Using Fabrics in Wet Felting. http://feltbyzed.blogspot.co.uk/p/e-books.html
Be creative and take Nuno where you have never taken it before. Don’t forget to tell us about what you’ve tried and how it turned out.

I need a new challenge and this sounds interesting Ann. Where to go and how far? 🙂
Glad to help Judith, take where ever you like and as far as you can.
Ann – sounds fun. I had some plans for some nuno already so this will fit right in.
That’s great Ruth, we need to keep you busy while you wait for your yurt materials.
I’ve never really tried nuno felting Ann and i’m looking forward to giving it a go, lucky i have zed’s e-book lol
It’s fun to watch how it changes from smooth to textured.
I’ve done a lot of nuno felting, but not recently, so this is a timely reminder that I should have another go.
Glad I can give you a leg up onto the nuno horse again. What where you making?
This sounds like a good excuse to go to the fabric shop, yay! 🙂
You need an excuse Zed?
Ha, not really 🙂
