Felt Bag "Indian Summer"

2011-10-11T09:19:00.007+02:00

It ended.The indian summer. Fortunately I could gather it's colors on the last day in a glass.

Then I felted this bag white and I spilled the colors over the white bag.

It took a night for the colors to get into the fibers. (I saw it. I was sitting there the whole time by the light of a flickering autumn ladybug.)

This dying method is described in the book "How to Dye Wool With Seasons and Moods".
Don't start searching for it. It's not on the market now.

You get a fall poem instead:

Leaves by Elsie N. Brady

How silently they tumble down
And come to rest upon the ground
To lay a carpet, rich and rare,
Beneath the trees without a care,
Content to sleep, their work well done,
Colors gleaming in the sun.

At other times, they wildly fly
Until they nearly reach the sky.
Twisting, turning through the air
Till all the trees stand stark and bare.
Exhausted, drop to earth below
To wait, like children, for the snow.

Lichen bag - felted

2011-10-05T23:23:00.002+02:00

Lichens sometimes are composite organisms consisting of a symbiotic organism composed of a fungus (the mycobiont) with a photosynthetic partner (the photobiont or phycobiont), usually either a green or blue alga. The morphology, physiology and biochemistry of lichens are very different from those of the isolated fungus and alga in culture. Lichens occur in some of the most extreme environments on Earth—arctic tundra, hot deserts, rocky coasts, and toxic slag heaps.

(Wikipedia)

I felted on everything, there is nothing sewn.

In the inside I felted two smaller pockets.

On the front side there are different textiles included: green organza which shines wonderful, gaze, unraveld pullover.

Small Felt Bag Matching a Cocktail Dress

2011-08-28T08:58:00.007+02:00

In that case it is not the Little Black Dress but the Little Black Bag for the not really LBD.

To make it even practical I felted in two pockets colored like the dress.

What I couldn't catch on the photos: that parts where the embroidery is, is felted of wool carded with glittering fibers, so it shines nicely.

...and felt bags CAN look also elegant not only eco-aunt-like. (Don't throw at me, I heard this from others.)

Sunny Felt Box With Nuno Felt Inlays

2011-08-21T00:21:00.003+02:00

I felted in organza, gauze, silk, yarns, crochet and curly wool.

So the sun doesn't only shine on T.V.- Please tell that Morten if you se him.

Felt boots and felt slippers from Moscow

2011-08-15T14:43:00.004+02:00

In Moscow it's verrry cold in winter. So people wore felt boots a longer time ago. Now they only wear felt slippers at home.
I show you the ones I saw in Moscow.

At first a bad example. It's ok to be proud of your felt slippers when you are a beginner and these where your first ones. Than I will be happy with you and perhaps give you some advice for the next time if you prefer.
But how can someone sell things like these?! Poor buyer. Will not be happy for a long time with these fluffy prefelt-slippers...

And now the good ones. They are not my style but the surface embellishment methods are inspirating.

1. Felt combined with crochet

2. Delicate embroidery.

3. Maschine stitched motifs sewed on the felt.4. Stencil printing - or whatever it is called in English - combined with beads. I would try it with textile or acrylic paint. Or do you have another idea?

5. A lot of sequins and beads on the black felt boot.
6. Motif cut off a fabric and sewed on and combined with beads.
7. Felt with zipper - in a different way :-)
Do you feel how new ideas crawl out of your mind?

A Bit of Moscow

2011-08-10T08:35:00.002+02:00

Some not so usual impressions from my Moscow travel.

Weddings...

Moscow City - don't miss it if you are there!

Streets with 10-12 lanes - totally normal.

Red star as underground station

"Stalin's Empire Style"

Underground crossing - one of more metro wonders

Red Square in the evening sun

Nice parks

Felt Bag From Russia With Love

2011-05-03T09:40:00.004+02:00

I loved a lot making this bag and now I felted a similar one (with more green) for two exhibitions in Moscow. But I forgot taking pictures of it except some details. Sometimes in December I will get it back... :-)
Bye bye bag and have a nice trip!

CorNit: - Sunshine. Colors. Fibers. Children. Blackbirds. Piece. Warmness. Bliss.

Peter: - Sunshine. Colors. Fibers. Children. Blackbirds. Piece. Warmness. Bliss. What is this?????????

CorNit: - Nothing concrete. Good sentiments. An antipole to bad news. A lasting fingerprint of a moment of happiness.

Felted wall bag

2011-02-18T20:44:00.002+01:00

The wall bag is laying in the snow.

It's sleeping...hush!

In it's dream it hangs in the garden of the stone dragon...

Enchanted plants grow there.

Gemstones glitter between the leafs.

The stone dragon is sleeping as well.

Until it will be awakened from that stone life.

Sometimes even dragons can get bewitched...

Little Felt Box

2011-02-01T22:15:00.005+01:00

Grandmothers smell like grandmothers what you perceive while they are reading fairy tales.

Grandmothers hair turns white...

Grandmothers always listen when you have a problem.

Grandmothers sometimes only say one short sentence but that will grow in your heart and mind forever.

Grandmothers have doilies or some lace on their undershirt.

Grandmothers hide pearl jewelry in a small box.

Grandmothers do handcraft.

You never forget Grandmother...

"Grandmother's Whisper" that's how I call this felt box.

Felted Bag from Atlantis

2011-01-12T09:43:00.002+01:00

A little bag to wear with jeans or the little black dress.

I wanted to loose myself in surface structures and the shades of blue, green and turquoise.

Different self dyed fabrics and yarns and fibres combined with free stitching.

You can go fishing or if you're vegetarian just help yourself at the kelp-buffet.

Can you feel the likable cool, turquoise water surrounding you?

And do you see the sunbeams under the water?

All around fluctuation, light, glimmer and all the same calming silence...

Felted Bag With Gipsy Style

2011-01-02T22:50:00.002+01:00

That's how it can look like if I stitch until my fingers get sore...

But I don't like using thimbles.

The length of the strap is adjustable.

It's a 2 in 1 bag.

In Germany some said that the free stitching looks so hungarian. I told them they are gipsy motifs. And gipsy culture is not hungarian culture!

Gipsies have their own tradition in Hungary and every other lands they live in the world. They even say that they are gipsies living in Hungary and not hungarian.

In Hungary there are many different kinds of free embroidery. One very famous is the style of the city Kalocsa (say Kalotsha). That kind of free stitching has colors like the gipsy's hand craft but the floral design is absolutely different. (On the photo you see a traditional costume from Kalocsa.)

More about the modern hungarian gipsy style here.

The moving felt rug

If felt grows directly on your body weather seems not to be a reason for complaining :-D
That animal is a puli .

Angel Felt Box for Christmas

2010-12-22T22:44:00.004+01:00

Ever felt an angel's breath in the gentle breeze? A teardrop in the falling rain? Hear a whisper amongst the rustle of leaves? Or been kissed by a lone snowflake? Nature is an angel's favorite hiding place. ~Carrie Latet

I wish you a merry Christmas!

Flattering Felt Box

2010-12-19T23:25:00.003+01:00

A hanging felt box again. Some say it looks like an angel. Other say it's an owl. What do you think?

Sometimes I don't fancy working with bright colors. That's a piece for giving my eyes a rest. Only natural, curly wool with some effect yarn which you don't see on the photo but in the sunshine it glitters in the felt.

Felt tutorials

2010-11-29T00:18:00.004+01:00

I wanted to make my first online felt course in English in November. As you may have noticed nothing happened. Because I got an invitation for a Christmas market in Germany and I decided to take the chance so I felted like crazy this time and soon I'll travel.

But you can get the 4 tutorials I prepared for this felt course:

1. How to felt pine trees with different designs. Standing and hanging version.

2. How to make crazy patch felt which can be used for brooches, bags and 1000 other things.

3. How to felt wrist warmers with felted gingerbread. An eye-candy for the cold season.

4. The making of a very special angel box. You'll use spiritual energies while making it. I guarantee there won't be two equals.

(I show the felting process with step-by-step photos, very detailed, anyway I advice to buy them if you have already been felting a hollow form.)

You can get them only bundled for 30 USD. To buy them send this amount to the PayPal account corika@yahoo.com and I send you the .pdf files within 24 hours after the money was debited. Please leave also your billing address as a message which I can give to my bookkeeper. (From 1st Dec. to 8th Dec. I'm not at home and I still don't know if I'll have internet access. So you might wait getting them till I'm back if you buy that week.)

If you think the tutorials weren't worth buying them, let me know within 24 hours after getting them and I'll send your money back.

Whish you a happy week

Felt Dream Box

2010-11-28T22:36:00.002+01:00

- What do you hide lovely blue Night?

- Dreams.

Hanging felt vessel

2010-11-17T12:17:00.003+01:00

I loved felting this bird nest.

But mostly I like making felt boxes, vessels, cases etc. where man can hide lovely treasures, hold necessary things or leave messages for someone.

So this nest is to work as such a helper in the abode.

It's quite big...

The beads are from a necklace of the 60-70s. Someone gave them to me, maybe I could use them instead of throwing away. Now I found a good place for them. That's also some kind of recycling...

It looks beautiful when the light shines through them.

I felted in silk fibres and pieces of a gift-ribbon.

My favorite color has been blue since I was a child. Different shades. In the last time I like to combine it with more green and warm yellow.

I will take it with me to a Christmas market in Germany and I hope it will find a new home.

Have a sunny day!

Felted snow

2010-11-04T22:39:00.002+01:00

The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found? ~J.B. Priestley

Otherwise: Snowflakes are kisses from heaven.

Felt bag called "Gipsy Love"

2010-10-18T22:35:00.001+02:00

Metamorphosis.

From ink to fibres.

From idea to realization.

Always finding back home...

2010-10-12T11:07:00.001+02:00

"It's not what you go through that defines you; you can't help that. It's what you do AFTER you've gone through it that really tests who you are."

Felt bird nest

2010-10-05T10:27:00.003+02:00

This felted nest hangs on that felt cord with the embroidered felt leaf on the end.

Or is it sitting on the branch?

My aunt lives at door nr.18.

Felted in gauze, alt lace and a leaf skeleton.

The embroidered nuno felt birdy is dangling inside...

Have a nice day!

Felting in paper...

2010-10-01T14:40:00.005+02:00

...is an interesting experiment.

Because there is thin paper, thick paper, colourful paper, colourless paper, rough paper, fine paper, glossy paper and matt ones...

And the felting process can go by rolling, rubbing, throughing, forceful or gently...

This "paper wing" is a part of a felt object I made for my aunt's birthday. It's title is "Vogelnest". That means bird nest.

More photos about this felt next week.

I wish you a sunny autumn weekend!

Gipsy felt

2010-09-29T12:09:00.004+02:00

That's me

on these misty photos on the left in the Museum of Arts and Craft in Budapest.

After I got the 2. prize at the Romani Design competition.

Romani Design is a young team of gipsy designers who make modern and trendy clothes and jewelry for gipsies and want to reduce the intolerance between gipsies and "white people"

I show you some photos of the 2nd gipsy fashion show, where also the exhibition and award ceremony took place

These are only Romani Design clothes, I'll show you the work of the other competitors and mine later.

A real horse shoe as necklace pendant! Because it's always good to have luck on your side.

Like a gipsy princess: Helena Varga, goldsmith. She makes jewelry for Romani Design and is one of the founders.

At the right: Erika Varga in an interview with my felts in the background. She is fashion designer and founder of Romani Design. She always wears black. But with some gipsy cloth details of course. Look at her HAIR!!!

Woman wearing a Romani blouse.

The girls were singing wonderful!

Visitors wearing Romani Design.

At the exhibition there were shown old photos. These were my favorites:
I didn't have time to take photos of my gipsy felts: 3 felt bags and 3 pairs of spats. They will be also exhibited in the House of Terror in Budapest.

Watch the video of the 1st Romani fashion show ! (They only speek a short time hungarian and the clothes are so cool!)

Felted wall case with snails

2010-09-25T09:41:00.003+02:00

This wall case was ordered for a silver wedding. I used white wool and felted in silk fibres, lace, pongee silk and gauze.

It should be used to leave lovely surprises for each other and also "hints", critics, praises for further developement of the relationhsip. Sometimes it is difficult to say something and it's easier to write a letter. If you write on a slip of paper "I HATE YOU!" and put this paper somewhere you also put down a big part of your hate. And afterwards when the other one finds it, you can already laugh about it together. Or talk about it calmly. Energies doesn't go lost they convert. And felt has magical forces as we know!

The spiral is an ancient symbol we can meet in every culture and everywhere in nature. Endless dynamics and vitality, everlasting change and searching for the inner centre...relationship of two...there are also big energies. Sometimes positives, sometimes negatives.

I embroidered the snails glossy slime traces. Somewhere they cross each other then they depart, afterwards they go parallel to each other. Like our ways in life. To exist under one umbrella seems to be a clear situation. But our inner ways are much more windig. In the ideal case they run in the same direction.

Judit Pócs, Dagmar Binder, Inge Evers, Márti Csille und Vanda Róbert...

2010-09-20T13:22:00.003+02:00

...were teaching this summer in the south of Hungary one week long.
From left to right: Dagmar Binder, Márti Csille, Judit Pócs, Inge Evers and in the front Vanda Róbert.

With Dagmar we made nuno felt shawls on silk chiffon, at Márti's we created felt jewelry combined with hammered wires, Judit let everyone make what he wants(we only had to choose 2 techniques at max.), Inge inspired first playing with different textiles and than we felted a "bleep" which hides a treasure we took with us. With Vanda we made cushions with a meshwork inlay as decoration.

These 5 women not only look different, they also teach different and they act different. Also the students were very different: some loved one of the courses and disliked another one, other loved this disliked class and didn't like the third...but everybody could find one which really touched his style and could learn some fluffy tricks from others.

<<<>

There is no shop in this small village. Twice a week there came a vegetable carriage and every day the ice-cream-van. There the ladies weren't be shy to queue.

The 50 students lived in different summer houses. We were put in there in a sensational international mix: In our mansion I was from Hungary (but I'm half German). One of the girls from Germany is a real Hungarian. Our mate from the Netherlands has her roots mothersides in Hungary. The girl from Ireland was spanish. Only Finland and USA were "real" attendents. Carmen Carme n, couldn't let it after 2 days an began to cook and bake for us. Yes we had double meals: the official one and "Carmen's kitchen" It was as happy as on the photo at breakfast...at lunch...at dinner...and after.

We got a lot of help: some assistants always brought us hot water and took away the dirty one from the buckets.

Am At the end of the felt camp there was an exhibition where eveyone could show the favorite of his works.
Here are some of my colleagues:

Stay tuned if you would like to come next year, I'll post the freshest details as I get them. Have a nice day!.

Nuno felt shawl

2010-09-10T20:57:00.003+02:00

I made this in the international felt camp in Hungary this summer in the course of Dagmar Binder.

I haven't been posting here for a long time. Summer was full with different programmes. Travelling, learning, family aaand the biggest thing for me was finishing the felt tutorials which I made for my 5 month online felt course. Soon I start to let to translate them and make the course also available in English.

A nice surprise: This nuno felt shawl got a little place in Felt Matters Magazine- (This small things under down on the right side...)

Wish you a fluffy weekend!

Felted Camargue-horse

2010-05-08T16:14:00.003+02:00

"The Camargue is an ancient breed of horses found in the Camargue area in southern France. For centuries, possibly thousands of years, these small horses have lived wild in the harsh environment of the Camargue marshes, wetlands of the Rhone delta. They developed the stamina, hardiness and agility for which they are known today. They are the traditional mount of the gardians–the Camargue "cowboys" who herd the black Camargue bulls used in bullfighting in southern France. Camargue horses galloping through water are a popular and romantic image of the region....

Camargue horses are always gray. This means that they have black skin underlying a white hair coat as adult horses. They are born with a hair coat that is black or dark brown in colour, but as they grow to adulthood, their hair coat becomes ever more intermingled with white hairs until it is completely white.
...
Some researchers believe the Camargue are descended from the ancient Solutré horse hunted during the Upper Paleolithic period. Extensive archeological evidence has been found in the present-day Burgundy region of France.[1][2] The Camargue breed was appreciated by the Celtic and Roman invaders who entered the Iberian Peninsula.

Their calm temperament, agility, intelligence and stamina has resulted in these horses being used for equestrian games, dressage, and long distance riding, which is growing in popularity in France."
(From Wikipedia )

Nuno Felt Cushion

2010-05-03T12:19:00.005+02:00

Wonderful spring weather, a cup of herbal tea and a sunny place with a nuno felt cushion.

Do I need something else? ...

I go and search for a felt which wants to get more free stitching on it's surface...

Black Felt With Highlights

2010-04-22T23:31:00.003+02:00

That is how the magic forest looks like in the night. Black on black.

Only the moon dispenses some light.

You see the outline of the brushwood. And you see the sky...

The answer of my felt-brainteaser

2010-04-17T22:31:00.007+02:00

(...stinks already scraffy: I planned to answer this question a few days after asking. That was more than one and a half months ago. That isn't blog-abstinence but already blog-impotence...)

That is my shaman.

He is about 2 m high.

What do shamans do?
They are healers of body and soul.

He has acces to worlds which are closed for the average person.
(Luckily there is some kind of "awaking" nowadays: more and more people deal with energies, spirituality, esoterism...)

The shaman has

directly contact to the universe.
Universe...Milky way. Solar system.

Sun and Moon and stars...
Shaman as a guiding light...
The directory...
The confident point.
In the middle.
In the circle.
The most beautiful symbol.

The wheel rolls ahead.
It has 12 spokes.
A year has 12 months.
Time rolls ahead.

Solar systems rotate.

We all could be shamans of our lives. But not everybody is awake to this. But this can be changed. If one wants to change. Then you get a key...

Creativity means to have the "third eye" open and realize things that others doesn't realize. Being the earth which gathers and cradles the grain until its blossom. The grain which isn't ours. Its a gift from somewhere else.

Creative dealing heals. Felting can help the healing of the mind and the soul.

Shamans knew the basic material: wool felt.

Brainstorming: What is this?

Carnival of Fleeces

2010-02-22T13:01:00.014+01:00

Busó (say busho)Procession in Mohács (say Mohatsh) - a small town in the South of Hungary.
A many hundred years old tradition for scaring away winter...

The busó-kit:

- unique carved wooden mask with one sheep fleece on the sides and on the back
- a "coat" made of four fleeces
- cattle cords as a belt
- traditional fabric trousers
- traditional knitted socks
- traditional leather footwear
- fabric shoulder bag
- cattle bells and ratches for making biiiig noise and a wooden mace

If you ever wondered where the inspiration for the Beauty's Beast came from, I think you can be sure now.

If you see these guys live you also understand how the Beauty could love that monster.

They look terrific! So huge, so strong and soooo fluffy! Why wouldn't weak women want to fall in the arms of one of them? (And felters could have their own wool-donor at home...)

The fleeces are hungarian merino or the unique hungarian breed called "racka".
How nice it would be if those fleeces would be felted...(poor sheep)

In the evening a big straw figure which symbolises the winter is ending on a great bonfire.
Winter ALWAYS escapes after the busó carnival...

And the winner are...

Felt box with angel-design

2009-12-01T20:47:00.004+01:00

A felted angel-box for hiding treasures.

Marbles from your childhood.

Goodies.

Jewels.

Or:

...lovely messages for someone each day before Christmas.

PS.: I organized an online felt workshop for this Advent season in german language. (I'm planning another one for Spring also in English.) Members get tutorials for 4 X-mas felt projects. The first one was felting an angel-box. If you would like to see some results, let me invite you to the workshop gallery.

The Wonder Forest

2009-10-24T23:27:00.003+02:00

My secret Wonder Forest is in my heart and in my soul. A place where I can hide, where I go to find inspirations or just take a rest for a while.

I don't know if the different creatures living and growing there are children of my fantasy or if I find them already there.

Otherwise I think many people have forests like mine inside. How about wandering in the same big wood? Everyone of us? There I am at a favored subject of mine: the collective subconsious...The same ideas, pictures turning up at very different places of the world in surprising ways...(And I don't mean copying.)

Everyone and everything united in a wonderful, living, organic, always changing system...call it Universe...call it God...call it as you want. Wonder World. Wonder Forest.

Nothing and nobody goes lost ever. Everything and everyone just changes and gets other forms of appearance.

Woods. Dim light. Tiny creatures dancing in the sunbeams. Buzzing. Green scent. Woodland strawberries. Waving fern. Moss beds. Chirping birds...

Forests are temples of God.

But he also likes to spend his time in tarns, deserts and on hill tops. We do not always like to sit in the living room as well...

Felt bag details

2009-10-06T11:21:00.003+02:00

Some details of a new felt bag.

A felt bag with integrated wonder-forest...

The ready piece is comming soon. Till this you might think about your own wonder-forest. Where is it? How does it look like? What does it give to you?

I wish you a nice day!

Felted table set

2009-09-26T16:07:00.002+02:00

Now afterward thanx for your comments!!! I'm alive, I'm quite fine, the fall is wonderful...I didn't want to make such a long blog pause, but somehow the last months did another way than I wanted to do them...to go them...to go me...though I felt much positive energy and now I'm ready to soap the wool strands again :o).

I habe finished a set for eating outside:

A big stone felted in and working as a napkin weight and his little brothers and sisters:

which weigh down the table cloth on every corner.

I must have look funny sitting with a lot of stones around and weighing them because I wanted the smaller ones to have the same weight. Not to tear the tablecloth on one end.

I wish you beautiful autumn days and the brown and dark green smell of this time with some coffe and apple pie on the terrace!

In Memoriam Doghair Felt

2009-07-22T14:42:00.006+02:00

You may think I'm on a long holiday. But no.

I had been helping for a week at a move.

Then I fired my webdesigner who wasn't able to finish my website for more than a year. But at long last I found a professional one who does it now and I realized how many texts are written yet. That' s what I'm working on, in 3 languages, so I didn't really want to write in the blog too.

I think the cause now is only that at this time I1m not really interested in anything because of one of our dogs, Fáni.

She is a komondor, a hungarian breed.

She died suddenly the day before yesterday. It might have been rat poison. She could had fed a poisoned one which run through our garden. I don't think that someone else did it.

I took pictures of her some weeks before because I wanted to show what a fantastic natural felt cord coats she wears. This breed doesn't even need soapy water to felt it's hair...

Whether this occured hole in my universe could be tamped with felt?

(I should ask Captain Kirk...)

Filling clefts

2009-06-23T23:59:00.004+02:00

Clefts.

Narrow, broad, deep, flat ones.

New and old ones.

In the heart. In the soul.

Uncovered.

Open for deposits.

Seeds...

...come.

Seeds sprout.

New life.

Impatiently germinating.

Reckless to the old cracks.

Increase

of h o p e.

Filling gaps.

Lessening deepness.

Curious.

Young.

Forgiving.

Rejuvenating.

Laughing out loudly.

Uncurling

high above.

New beginnings.

Again.

And again.

For those who need it.

Sleep well.

And let it grow.

Welcome!

A big thank you for my older readers who came and joined here and a big welcome for all new ones. If you are a new watcher of my felt world, you can look at older things in the felt blog I wrote before this one in 3 languages (but from now I separate the 3 languages, that's the english version):

http://www.corinna-nitschmann.blogspot.com/

As I see my profile must stay in 3 languages if I don't want to make different google accounts to each blog. I don't want.

In the coming week I show you what this curly thing above is...stay tuned!
