Sunny Felt Box With Nuno Felt Inlays

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

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

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

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!

Dialogue

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

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

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.
