Year End Giveaway

Year End Giveaway

Comments 85 comments

This year we’ve talked a lot about embellishments whether they were new fibers or scraps and saw a lot of samples.  A little embellishment goes a long way.  So, I decided to go thru my embellishment stash and choose ten different types that someone may like to try.

There is approximately 10 grams of each.

Starting with the left hand row from the bottom up:  Ramie, Hemp, Milk Protein and Texas Mohair.

The second row:  Black Tussah, Yak and a multicolored silk Tussah.

The last row is Tencel, Mulberry silk and degummed cocoons.

Please note the Texas Mohair and the cocoons contain some VM.

I’ll mark each bag with the name and weight.

A couple of years ago I made a “sampler” book cover with a bunch of embellishments as a reference.

  24. I love trying out new materials. I want to know what the cocoons are like to work with. I’ve incorporated milkweed fluff into my felting before – has anyone tried that?

    Reply

    1. I haven’t tried the milkweed fluff, but it sounds interesting. I’ll have to try it. Thanks for the suggestion. Good luck!

  25. I have been playing with sari silk remnants. The color combinations are jewel toned glories that inspire and intrigue me. I have used moss and lichen in woodland spirit sculptures with good success.

  32. I am new to felting and very excited with the projects I completed, both needle and dry felted. I have been collecting various fibers and would love to add these samples to my collection. I just purchased the pdf book mentioned in today’s post. Happy New Year and thanks for all the great tips.
