A beautiful autumn brown orangy pink nuno felted scarf

This one I made using a dark brown gauze silk fabric as the base which you can still see peeking through the felted parts.  I used a wool art yarn which has pink and orange colors running through it.  I used a tinted merino sheep's fleece in the middle and a nice brown for the edges.  The backside has a design for which I used a deep reddish pencil roving with a very fine layer of deep brown sheep's fleece.  This is a generously sized scarf which is more like a shawl I guess.  Will be taking it to the market on Sunday.  If you are interested in holding it for you or purchasing it on-line please convo me and we can figure out how to go about doing that.

This time a lace nuno felted scarf

This scarf I made with lace, yarn and the softest Merino sheep's fiber.  I love the way it turned out.  Think I have to make another one to keep for myself!   This one will be going to the Farmers Market with me on Sunday so if you like me to hold it for you let me know.  You can contact me via e-mail. 
This scarf has been sold.

Another nuno felted scarf

THIS ITEM HAS BEEN SOLD. 

 
I've been making nuno felted scarves for about 6 years now and still haven't gotten tired of making them.  Each scarf is a work of art, a one of a kind creation.  I love making them since I don't have to follow a set pattern.  My hands just do their thing and ta-daaaaa here is my latest one.  I'm kinda bumming because I'm having a rotator cuff issue in my left shoulder.  I just really really hope I'm not going to need surgery.  But then on the other hand so be it if I do.  Might actually be a good thing, getting it fixed and be pain free after it's all healed.   Except that I won't be able to do nuno felting for a while which would suck.   Wait and see what the doc has to say when I go back on Tuesday.  So for now I'm moving along making some more scarves, kinda in a turtle pace but I'm doing it.   

This one I just finished yesterday.  I'm no longer putting them up in my Etsy shop.  I will have it for sale at the Farmers Market this Sunday so if you are interested in purchasing it from me on-line you will need to let me know before Sunday.  These do tend to sell fast at the Farmers Market that's another reason I don't put them in my Etsy shop at this point.

Let me know what you think.

Nuno needle felted blue water scarf


Finally finished this scarf I started months ago! I actually started making this by needle felting it by hand while at the Farmers Market BUT THEN .... Santa gave me a needle felting machine and ta daaaaaaa, this makes my life in the felting world just a wee bit easier I must say. It still takes a long time doing it by machine versus by hand but the good thing is that it certainly saves me from getting tennis elbow again from doing all the needling by hand which is a lot of repetitive movement. Now if they could only come up with a way to make needle felting 3D sculptures a bit easier on the wrists and/or elbows I'd be a really happy camper. That's also one of the main reasons I constantly switch back and forth between making needle felted sculptures, knitting, crocheting, sewing, drawing, painting etc. It's all done with my hands but for each one you make different movements which saves me from getting tennis elbow and carpal tunnel.

I just listed this scarf in my PurplePlatypus shop http://www.etsy.com/listing/69321670/nuno-needle-felted-blue-water-scarf if you're interested in purchasing it.

Pink Snowflake Scarf



This seems like a never ending project! But, it's almost done ... a little bit more work adding fleece on the back, then off to the basement for the wet felting process and maybe by tomorrow I can take pictures of it and put it on Etsy! I just wish I could somehow keep the real fluffiness of the edges the way they are now like in the pictures. Unfortunately after the wet felting part it will be down a lot except for the curly locks I used they will stick up a bit. If anybody knows of a way to keep this fluffy look let me know!!!
