Miniature Feltwool迷你.羊毛氈- Midnight Autumn

喜愛秋季. 秋天的顏色都是橙、啡、黃等....給人一種很温馨温暖的感覺. 我也最愛earth colours, 所以看到就份外高興. 這處的秋季也很乾爽舒服. 只是有點淒涼的感覺....

最懷念是以前Thanksgiving 有火雞吃的日子, 一家人或朋友聚在一起, 感覺暖笠笠的, 很warm!

今年結合迷你粘土+羊毛氈, 制作出上年已構思好的迷你情境.

Autumn is my favorite season here. It's dry and cool, and I love seeing all those earthy colours...orange, yellow, brown...gives me a warm cozy feeling.

I always think back to the old days when we had home-baked turkey...friends and family gathered together and having Thanksgiving dinner...how warm it was!

This year I combined miniature clay work and feltwool. It's a setting that I wanted to do last year.

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

羊毛氈-小刺猬 Feltwool-Little Hedgehog

終於現身了! 親子小刺猬, 即媽媽&BB刺猬.

有做開羊毛氈的朋友, 或許會認得這是日本材料包來的. 出了很久了 (亦買了很久, 放了很久).

可能我內芯拮得太實, 最終不夠羊毛而需買多些回來補. 比原來用多了$!

小刺猬的刺是一針一線縫出來的. 針紙超強(說反話)的我找媽媽求救. 媽媽示範後我便自己來. 哦! 原來如此穿. 又挺好玩的! 其實大可照平常方法拮出來, 但不試過就不會懂怎麼穿了.

They're finally here! Mommy and Baby Hedgehog!

This is from a Japanese feltwool kit. I bought it a long time ago.

Maybe because I poked too much and too hard, I ended having to buy some more wool to finish the baby Hedgehog.

I used the thread and needle for the hedgehogs' quills. Sewing has always been my specialty (I'm lying)! I needed mom's help. After mom's demo, I tried myself. I see! That's how you do it. It's quite fun actually! I could have used the wool felting technique to do the quills but then I would never learn how to do the sewing.
