How to Wet Felt

I was going to explain my method but then I found this video on YouTube which pretty much says it all… quite a good walkthrough… even in a foreign language!

A little bit about me…

I have been working as a Fashion Designer for some years now and have always been interested in textured embellishments, from small decorations to all over fabric techniques. My style of texture decoration comes from combining both conventional and unconventional disciplines. For example free-machine embroidery can be great on its own, but why not mix it with another discipline like; felting, embroidery or weaving? I try to approach all crafts with the same way – why not mix it up a bit?

At Sara’s Texture Crafts I hope to be able to bring you the crafts and techniques that have been inspiring me recently, from finished artworks to clothing accessories, jewellery, rag dolls and fun decorations.

Hi Sara! Congratulations on being the reviewer on craft books, how great is that?
I'm sure that will take some time to do.
I was going to tell you the show went well last
week, I just received information that the show will now be 2 times a month instead of
every Monday.
I will let you know, so the show is not today
it will be next Monday.

Hi Sara! Tell me about your store! I took a
look and I like what I see! Do you have anything thing vintage? buttons, beads, findings? I also have a store in my home town
and I'am always looking for some different to
add. Let me know we could also talk about it
on the Art Talk Radio show.
