Visiting the recent SUS'T exhibition I saw Ronel Jordaan's beautiful felt work in real life. Inspired by this, I decided to do something with that ruined scarf. I scanned in some paisley prints from my sari collection, and made some pattern shapes. I pinned them on to the scarf, making sure they touched, and then I cut the shapes out.
Working with the felt was a wonderful therapeutic experience.I am not too sure what I am going to do with the final product. If I am feeling VERY brave I might wear it as a scarf, otherwise I will probably use it as a table runner!
how multifunctional and lovely!!!
ReplyDeleteYou amaze me! Be brave and wear it - even if it's once - so creative. It's like wearing a purple hat at our age (-:
ReplyDeleteThat's a fantastic result for a booboo! I would definitely wear it and I love the combination of paisley shapes with stripes
ReplyDeleteOk Thanks for the encouragement. I'll wear it somewhere arty! Maybe if it's cold and rainy for the Design Indaba!
ReplyDeleteA very smart save! Definitely wear it.
