Now that I have the multi nuno sample pieces I made, and have some reference for how a lot of my fabric pieces felt, I thought I’d sort out some pieces to use. I’ve got quite a few pieces cut or torn, in various sizes and made a start with a piece of a woven pink scarf I got from a charity shop. I always put far too much effort into choosing the colours to go with the fabrics, you can’t tell, but the felt under the scarf actually has 3 different shades of pink, plus a few wisps of turquoisey blue:
I thought the pink scarf and this next piece would make nice coin purses, though I’ll probably use just a plain piece of felt for the inside section of the coin purse. This is a piece from a spearminty peacock scarf:
It has great ripples, this is a closer view:
I made a start on a few flower brooches, I was trying out some buttons:
I never did get around to making new fimo buttons, so I might have to look in my button box. I like how this flower turned out, I tried hard to get it thin and also wispy on the edges:
This one was made using a batt I blended from the Botany lap waste I mentioned last time, I blended the pale pinky lilac with some of the grey, it made a kind of pale lilac/lavender. I added a few wisps of lemon and tussah silk.
I have a feeling it’s going to be hard to find a button to match that!
