Felt tutorial

                         

I'm working on a new felt tutorial with the embellisher, I will post it on here as soon as it's finished!

                          

Embellisher

One of the nice things about felting with the embellisher is that I can use all kinds of material. For this piece I used fabrics like silk, organza and satin. I also used all kinds of wool, even wool that was wet-felted completely. To add things like velvet ribbon, which I coloured with Sharpies,  I used the sewing machine.

You can also see some embroidery by hand and some with the sewing machine.

                                   I'm working on a new piece on my embellisher.

Embellisher

I have started working with my embellisher again. It is that time of the year, when the days are getting shorter and the nights longer, and I tend to work more inside. 

Masterclass Sara Lechner

I had three amazing days in Oldeberkoop at a masterclass with Sara Lechner, an artist I've admired for many years, also thanks to Harm and Meinie from Hawar and their hospitality. 

Drie fantastische dagen beleefd in Oldeberkoop met de masterclass van Sara Lechner, een kunstenares die ik al lange tijd zeer bewonder, ook dankzij de gastvrijheid van Harm en Meinie van Hawar. 

Tentoonstelling Hawar

This month, these works at exhibited at the Hawar studio in Olderberkoop, alongside works from other pupils of Sarah Lechner. All this work has been created during or inspired by her workshop in August 2012 and was made with the embellisher. 

Deze werken hangen deze maand op de expositie bij Hawar in Oldeberkoop, samen met werk van andere cursisten van Sara Lechner. Al dit werk is ontstaan of geïnspireerd tijdens haar workshop in augustus 2012 en gemaakt met de punchmachine.
