What it is made of?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2776/4425211775_a2b9ed4d17_m.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 240px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2776/4425211775_a2b9ed4d17_m.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />I made this scarf-collar using Nuno felt technique from fine merino wool, silk and vintage lace. I have added silk slivers for special effects. The lace, silk and merino wool are dyed with onion skins, which give to the fibers a brilliant golden color.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Here is my heritage - ancient french lace after dyeing with onion skins:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4064/4430481176_0f4cb97f6b_m.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 240px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4064/4430481176_0f4cb97f6b_m.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Each cotton lace got it's own shade of the color. Isn't it beautiful?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />And here you can compare the original color of the wool and silk and the color after dyeing:<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4044/4429713833_a338e3345b_m.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 240px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4044/4429713833_a338e3345b_m.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />So here are all component parts of the collar:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2442/4430480984_d3b7683116_m.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 240px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2442/4430480984_d3b7683116_m.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>After felting you have only to embellish your creation with vintage buttons and organza ribbon!daimblondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00470717071345545984noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114493996547150780.post-59692438038112408262010-03-09T19:46:00.000+01:002010-03-09T20:15:48.543+01:00Bonjour and welcome!daimblondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00470717071345545984noreply@blogger.com0
