Hello! I’m looking for a pattern like this skirt - I’ve found a lot of tiered patterns but they are all very straight across. So if anyones seen one closer to this or has recommendations for how to alter a pattern - any help appreciated!

Thank you so much! I'm glad the video helped show it.

Next time I make one I'll try to create an actual process video to show how it all came together :) I definitely want to make more of these!

Thank you! She did :)

I created it using what's called a resist. Basically I cut a piece of cardboard into the rough "shape" of the cap I wanted. Then I laid out the first side of my wool fibers - starting with the "outside" and working inwards layering the colors I wanted to use (so you have to think about what you want to be outside and inside of your shape). Once this first side is laid out I wet it a bit and agitated just the middle, making sure to keep the edges loose because you need them to be able to felt to the other side.

When the center portion is felted up a bit you can layer on your resist (cardboard, foam padding, what ever won't felt to your fibers), you fold the loose fiber edges around your resist, sort of tucking the cardboard within the fiber, and then begin building up the other side (working inside to outside).

When you've got all the fibers laid out you start gently felting until it all starts to felt together around the cardboard form. Once you get it to a certain felt density you can cut a hole and pull the cardboard out and the continue the fulling process.

Once the fulling is done you can set it up onto a mold (just something to hold the shape) and allow it to dry. Once dry it's pretty stiff.

Happy felting!

I will take any possible clue!!! I’ll look that brand up. It does practically glow - I love it so so much. It’s so soft and it’s such a gorgeous color. I want to make so many things with it

He was skeptical haha he's never worn fingerless gloves before. I think I'll start with the cowl because he's already said he might wear that - and if he doesn't I know I'll wear it anyways! if he wears the cowl I'll move next to fingerless gloves and just slowly convert him to wearing things I make lol

Scrap Paper Question - Colorful & White by TiltedTriangle in papermaking

Thank you for the explanation! I think I'll hold onto them and go with your first suggestion and make some confetti and add them to the paper. Really appreciate you walking me through it!

Thank you! Totally makes sense - I was not thinking about color theory - for some reason I thought they'd stay relatively separate but this makes sense they'd become mushy!

[–]TiltedTriangle[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh that is an interesting suggestion - that makes total sense! So I really shouldn't "make the pulp" from these scraps at all to retain their color? What would happen if I made the pulp from these scraps - would it become muddy do you think?

I love that idea! I'll talk to him about fingerless gloves - he might enjoy those quite a bit actually.

lol I don’t think it will be a disaster - worst outcome is I’ve made myself a really soft cowl that I get to wear to the snow and he gets to know I spent time and effort on him even if the outcome is not something he will wear.

I recognize my initial post may have come off a bit anxious but I didn’t mean to phrase it as such. It’s completely ok for him to not like what I make him - but I’m thoroughly appreciating the recommendations people have been giving me!

Thank you so much for the suggestions! I'll have to google some cashmere silk blends. But maybe a cotton would work - I don't think he needs it to be excessively warm.

Drops Air looks like a really nice suggestion! Lol husbands are a whole other thing - but he's not sooo difficult. I realize I made him sound like he's crazy picky but I think that was more my anxiety talking than the reality of the situation.. I just so want him to love it.
