Catching up here...
I did a wet felting workshop at my own Guild last year. We wrapped our felt around a balloon, then burst the balloon to make a vessel!
It was great fun.
I took BFL tops, which felted pretty much as soon as I touched them once I'd wetted and soaped them. I felt like a fraud as everyone else huffed and puffed, and kept on rubbing and pressing, took breaks, asked the tutor if they were doing it right...
I was rather taken aback at how much fibre it takes to make a reasonably thick felt. I do like the final result but at the moment I feel I'd rather spin
the fibre than felt it.
I really love the idea of felt art pictures, though, (wet felting rather more than needlefelting, although you can add or refine detail with a needle later) and will definitely have a go at that. I bought a kit at Woolfest last year and really want to have used it before Woolfest this year!
