http://www.gillianchapmanfelts.info/2011/10/introducing-trixy-felts.html
Incorporating "The FELTED GARDEN". Saturday, 1 October 2011. I'd been thinking about making a felt doll for a while to use as a mascot for the blog and an image to promote the feltmaking workshops. Ideas kept growing and I put aside various oddments, scraps of fabric, felt and wool, buttons and bits and pieces, and slowly a character started to take shape. Trixy Felts personifies elements of the felting workshops, wearing a felt hat decorated with a felt flower, felt slippers and gloves and a felt bag, w...

FELTING matters... : Experimenting with TEXTURES...
http://www.gillianchapmanfelts.info/2012/01/experimenting-with-textures.html
Incorporating "The FELTED GARDEN". Sunday, 22 January 2012. Lots of experimenting with textures over the last few days in preparation for the new workshop next week - with some very pleasing results! The natural colours of the fibres and textures blend SO beautifully with the wool backgrounds. I deliberately chose non-Merino wool with a good natural colour range - Norwegian grey, Shetland browns, BFL and Welsh white. Quite a contrast to the bright scarves of previous weeks. Synthetic Mesh - Banana Tops -.

FELTING matters... : FABULOUS Felt Flowers...
http://www.gillianchapmanfelts.info/2015/06/fabulous-felt-flowers.html
Incorporating "The FELTED GARDEN". Wednesday, 10 June 2015. I’ve recently been felting flowers in preparation for ‘The Felted Garden’ flower workshops - the aim was to create flowers with different petal formations that can all be felted and shaped using the same method of laying out fibres…. So with a little artistic licence here are my flowers -. Pansies, clematis, poppies and lilies…. Felting flowers is a perfect class for beginners as it introduces the basic. But when first timers.

FELTING matters... : The 'DAY JOB'...
http://www.gillianchapmanfelts.info/2013/06/the-day-job.html
Incorporating "The FELTED GARDEN". Wednesday, 12 June 2013. I have been promising to write more about the job that has taken me away from my felting in recent months, so here we are at last! But first a bit of background. But it did give more time for my felt making which quickly developed into an exciting new way of life as is well-documented here at Felting Matters. The projects also had to have a function where possible - so there's a Giraffe CD box, Lizard fridge magnets, puppets, pop-up cards, mobil...
