Felting I: Wet and Dry Basic Techniques and Fundamentals with Kara Perpelitz

My goal with this nuno felted scarf was to play with texture and really maximize the ruffle formation. I love how what started as a flat length of material transformed into a very aquatic and organic result, reminds me of sugar kelp seaweed! Kara Perpelitz's class has been a fascinating introduction to the technical skills of wet felting and needle felting - I'm excited to continue exploring and creating using what I've learned.
