Work life has been very busy lately. To make the most of my art time, I've been looking at ways to streamline my process a bit. I've been wanting to do a hanging piece with my stones, without having the weight of actual stones. I've made solid wool stones before by needle-felting them firmly and then wet-felting them, but it takes time that I just don't have right now. This method allows me to make a batch of stones at a time with much less effort. Want to give it a try? You'll need: wool roving/batting that will felt felted wool sweater a knee-high stocking or a leg from pantyhose scissors washing machine felting needle (optional but helpful) plastic bag dish soap If you've followed my tutorial for felted stones, this will be pretty self-explanatory. We'll substitute felted sweater for the stone, following the same steps, but allowing the washing machine to do the felt work for us. From the wool sweater, cut a basic stone shape. You'll want to cut one larger piece for the center, widest, part of the stone and two smaller pieces, one for the top and one for the bottom. No need to get exact here as the felting will alter the shape and make it nicely rounded. Next you'll lay out a little mat of roving for your stone slightly wider and about 3 times longer than your stone. Lay a thin layer out with the fibers running horizontally, and a second layer with the fibers running vertically. This will encourage the fibers to tangle together more easily around your "stone". Roll the wool "stone" up in the fiber, tucking the sides in and making a neat little package. Using your felting needle, tack the edges and ends in place. No need to needle the whole surface, just get it to stay put long enough to get to the next step. Now repeat those steps until you have a pile of little wool stones-to-be, and grab your stocking. If the stocking you're using has a seam in the toe, turn it inside out. I've found that the seam will make an indent in the stone, which is fixable, but easily avoidable. Now slide your first stone down into the toe of the stocking and tie a knot right above it. Keep adding stones and tying between each one until the stocking is filled. Resist the urge to whack people with your stocking of stones. The kids will see and follow suit. (I make the mistakes so you don't have to) Now, if you want to make lots and lots of stones this way you can save up all your stone-filled stockings until you have a washer load full. If you want to make just a few, or if you are impatient, toss that stocking in with a load of jeans and let 'er go. I ran these for one cycle, but if you see they're not felting well enough, toss them in another load and let them go again. They're pretty gnarly looking when they're done. Get out your scissors and set them free. Cut above the knot and peel the stocking off of your stone. Whoa. The surface is pretty unruly, but that's okay, we can fix the surface. We're more concerned about the center being pretty well felted. That's the step that takes time if you were to do them by hand. These are well-felted so we'll just address that surface fuzz. Take your fuzzy stone to the sink and wet the surface with a little warm water and a drop of soap. Rub the stone using the plastic bag for about 30 seconds. Rinse off the stone and set it aside to dry. See? So much better. In a relatively short amount of time and with minimal felting effort you can have a whole pile of solid wool stones that you can use in your projects. A few things to keep in mind: Choose a wool center that won't bleed color, or choose a color that will work with your design if it does bleed. Grey is a safe choice, red might not be. Some plastic bags are printed with ink that will transfer once wet. Turn your plastic bag inside out and avoid using the printed area. After you rinse your stone, just set it down and let it dry. You can trim off any stray fuzzies with small scissors once it's dry. ******** Soon...well, soonish...I'll show you what I did with mine. If you try this out I'd love to see what you're doing with them. Drop me a line or leave a comment and share!

Főzőcskés játékot főleg a kislányok játszanak szívesen, de talán a kisfiúk is bevonhatók, ha az első képen látható tűzrakást feladatul kapják, s mindennek végeredményeként ilyen élethű játék ennivalók kerülnek az asztalra. Alapanyaguk a könnyen kezelhető, nem foszló filc. Szükség van még némi vattára, vagy egyéb tömőanyagra, fonalakra és díszítő elemként itt-ott gombra, apró gyöngyökre. forrás
Merhabalar bir haftanın daha sonuna geldik. Zaman biraz hızlı geçiyor sanki ya da bana öyle geliyor. Daha yazı tadamadan kış gelecek sanırım :( Ben de hem bu kararsız havalarda hem de Ramazan ayından ötürü evde olanlar için bir kaç öneri sunmaya çalışayım dedim. Patchwork yani bizim eskilerin bildiği kırkyama (hatta ananem ona ekleme der :) ) benim çok sevdiğim işlerden biri. Hele ki elinizin altında makineniz varsa yapamayacağınız şey yok. Son zamanlarda daha da farklı tasarımlarla karşımıza çıkıyor. Hayalgücünün sonu yok yani.. Ancak ben bugün sizlere daha kolay yapılabilecek fakat bir o kadar da gösterişli örnekler buldum. Eskiler böyle cetvelmiş yok patchwork matıymış yok makasıymışla uğraşmıyorlardı elbette ki. Ancak artık çok fazla işimizi kolaylaştıran araçlar var. O nedenle size kalan bu malzemelerden edinmek ve birbiri ile uyumlu kumaşlar almak. Sonrasında yapabilecekleriniz sizin hayal gücünüze kalmış :) Yatak örtüsü,masa örtüsü,çanta belki bir servis altı,bardak altlığı,battaniye.... Sınır yok... Bu battaniye çok orijinal olmuş.Mutlaka şu yumuşacık olan bebek battaniyelerini 10 liraya her yerde görmüşsünüzdür. Ondan alıp üzerini bu şekilde yamalamak orijinallik katmamış mı sizce de? Eğer ki yapmak istediğiniz geometrik şekiller dışında figür tarzı şeylerse,yapılacak şey önce onun kalıbını bir kağıda çıkarmak ve oradan da kumaşınıza çıkarmak olabilir. En kolay yöntem bu bence:) Bu da kumaşla değil ama boya ile yapılmış Patchwork :) çok tatlı değil mi? :) Siz de yapmak için heveslendiniz mi? Yaplılacaklar listenize bir yenisini daha eklediysem ne mutlu :) İyi bir Hafta Sonu Geçirmeniz Dileğiyle..
