Cobwebs, clouds and poplar leaves



This is my brand new "Head in the clouds" scarf, made out of sky blue Merino wool and undyed silk cocoons. Approximate measurements: 179x23 cm ---> 70,4"x9".





And this is just a cobweb. It's made of British Wensleydale breed wool. Fibers of this wool are extremely long, glossy and curly. Decorated with strokes of golden Muga silk. It is huge, 240x30 cm ---> 94,4"x11,8".





This scarf is called "Poplar", it's made of mint color superfine Merino and decorated with patches of delicate green Margilan silk. It also has got those shimmering Mulberry silk threads.

Shepherdess

Here come some new pieces -- nunofelted shawls with wonderful texture combinations and a fringe of cute curly  fleece locks. They both are double sided, one side is velvety and warm, another's silk and glossy.

This one is ivory and golden, with crispy white fleece. Extremely airy and lightweight, very delicate..
Measures 158x33 cm ---> 62,2"x12,9".






This wrap is chocolate and oatmeal. It's more thick than the previous one, hence warmer, but still very soft and easy to drape. Measures  160x35 cm ---> 62,9"x13,7".

Flower shawls


'Nuno felting is a fabric felting technique developed by Polly Stirling, a fiber artist from New South Wales, Australia, around 1992. The name is derived from the Japanese word "nuno" meaning cloth. The technique bonds loose fibre, usually wool, into a sheer fabric such as silk gauze, creating a lightweight felt. The fibres can completely cover the background fabric, or they may be used as a decorative design that allows the backing fabric to show. Nuno felting often incorporates several layers of loose fibres combined to build up colour, texture, and/or design elements in the finished fabric.' -- Wiki


This were my nuno felting experiments...

'Impressionist poppies' white chiffon shawl in silver grey, sky blue and scarlet.
A length of soft airy white chiffon + thin layer of fine merino wool = this weightless, cozy and warm shawl.  I've made this light piece remembering those freshly calm countryside mornings and flowering, chirring and buzzing summer meadows.
There are soft touches of silver grey and light blue, and strokes of various grassy green color.

This wrap is quite large.
Approximate measurements: 125 cm long x 62 cm wide -- 49,2" long x 24,4" wide.



'Riot of colors' impressionist sunny august garden, yellow, orange, blue and green nunofelted scarf.
Approximate measurements: 101 x 47 cm -- 39,7" x 18,5".
