You may have seen the images of my anise pod and have been curious about how the shape is created. If that’s the case, I have good news. The class is available again!
About one year ago I opened this course for registration for the first time.
As you may know, I initially created it as part of the lessons on book resists in the THE DODO HUB annual program. But the particular shape of the piece caused curiosity, so I decided to open it up for non-members of TDH as well.
The registration is open until Friday (October 4th).
You’ll not only be learning how to wet felt this beautiful seed pod, but you’ll also learn to design a book resist for your own project.
If it sounds interesting to you, but you have questions that aren’t covered on the course page, send me an email and let me know how I can help.
Have you ever felted a vessel, a bag or another 3D item and found that you couldn’t get rid of the seams on the sides? Did you wonder why it happened? Did you think that those seams could have been prevented by filling the piece with a balloon or any other object?
If that’s the case, know that the issues started way before the final shaping and drying phase. And so, no filling the piece in the end would have made it flat.
Today I bring you 7 tips that can help!
Once you have those pesky side ridges on your 3D felt, it’s very difficult to get rid of them. Sure, rubbing the seam area can help, but the problem happens in the layout phase, as well as the initial phase of the felting process. So, rubbing won’t completely solve the problem. Let’s have a look at was does help.
IN THE LAYOUT PHASE
There are two things to watch for during the layout phase:
1. The layout on the edge
From my point of view, there are 2 ways you can do the layout on...
