Fiber art

This is what remains behind knitting and crocheting.
I always kept the little piece of thread.
Lately I'm interested in a fiber art.
I thought that I want it to work and tried it.






This is fun!

Nuno felted scarf

I made a felt scarf.

This is a medical cotton gauze.
I used it .
It is used as the base of the scarf.



I dyed it yellow green. It's my favorite color.



I'm going to felting and I put designs on it with colored wool.



Actually, I'm not good at wet felting.
What should I do?
I decided I leave up it to a washing machine.
I fold it and into a cleaning net.
Wash the scarf with water and a dishwashing detergent
for about 25 minutes and spin dry.
Take out the scarf and unfold it.
Rinse and spin dry and hang it to dry.





A scarf just finished!
Not bad for the first try?

My bobbin lace tools.

I love bobbin lace,
but it is not reach the same level of popularity
as other manual arts crafts in Japan.
There aren't that many stores and books for bobbin lace.
Bobbins made in Belgium .Pin made in Belgium and Japan.



Pincushions and bobbin holders .
(I receive a left pincushion as a present from my sister.
and I made bobbin holders with a little help from a family.)


This bobbin winder is made in Japan.
It's small but greatly-helpful.



I thought of making a pillow and I went to the DIY departments.
I go through a furniture department and so I found it!!
This is a Japanese cushion for summer.




It was a functionally-good pillow.
