Felt Wool Mobile Bag 羊毛氈手機套

有新的手機, 自然需要新的手機套.  之前做的用不着了...

今次選的是給人很平靜感覺的藍綠色....是Hamanaka Natural Cotton Blend 的其中一種色.  看上去很舒服, 我很喜歡.

方法是先針氈2塊羊毛, 然後包起型版再用濕氈方法搓.  這方法可以加速完成的速度.  我低估了縮氈的程度, 做得太緊了, 剛放得入但有點勉強.  唯有硬着頭皮再做!

做起了發覺不捨得用呢!

I've got a new mobile, so I need to make another wool case for it. 

This time I chose a calming turquoise.  This is one of the Japanese brand, Hamanaka's wool.  It's really soothing to look at, I like the colour!

First I needle-felted two pieces of wool, then used the wet method to shrink the case to the right size.  However, I underestimated the shrinkage and it turned out too tight.  It barely fits.  So I had to do it all over again...We learn by past mistakes...that's how we learn.  -_-




濕氈工真, 有凹凸粒粒, 加快速度 Using a felting tool to speed up the process


縮氈前後的大小差別  Difference between before and after shrinking


型版就是原來的大小  This is how much they have shrunk


第ニ次刻意做薄些  The 2nd one was made thinner
