In the meantime made a wonderful trip to Australia
Seen plenty of nature and insanely made a lot off great photos.
Yet a moment to tell you about Pam
A woman (Pam) living in Bedigo-Victoria-Australia she makes the most beautiful felted clothing,
I've ever seen
It's more than just normaly rolling. It's really ART.
Using a home made wet felting machine and 12 microns merino roving tops, silk, olive soap- natural colors (all dyed with natural products in and around her house)
12 micron.......... people really so soft I never never never felt anything like that. normaly the thickness of the wool is about 17 - 19 microns.
But 12 microns is so fantastically soft ............................SOFT !!!!!!
So I got a bag of wool from her to bring home..... and I'm going to test how the material works
* Try as I go testing in a few days.
* More about here in a few days
Next week I will start again with felting
Have ordered 2 kg of wool into beautiful natural earth tones to create a large carpet.
But before the felting
create on paper with my pastel pencils a design
choose the colors roving tops of wool for using in design
create the first time a patch test how ....(and will the colors) fit together.
I'll up to date you (in the meantime making some pics)
And then after a few days of work , prepare and testingFinaly I'll start with my new huge creation.
Dear people enjoy the summer and start again with felting.........

I've never used 12 micron merino. Don't know if it's available here. Do you have a source where I could find it, too? Would love to give it a try...Sounds wonderful. Thanks so much,
Dawn
