to let loose...in felt

The most of us are gripping something...such as it would be life-sustaining holding fast to it/her/him...

And what can we cling to?












Such as...

- cream cakes

- soap operas

- parents

- children

- the wish for a child

- spouse

- pets

- revenge

- wine, beer and grog

- amphetamine cocktails

- body shaping

- hope

- past and future

- memories....







The wish of letting loose has to grow inside.

It might make place for a new age...

Felt Bag "Indian Summer"

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.

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 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!

Felt bag called "Gipsy Love"

Metamorphosis.

From ink to fibres.


From idea to realization.

Felted wall case with snails

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.

Nuno felt shawl

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!

Nuno Felt Cushion

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...
