Recently I took a class with artist Omi Gray in Nuno felting which is a wet felting technique. Soapy water and agitation bind fibers of wool roving, silk and more together to create all sorts of wonderful art and wearable items. I've explored wet felting in the past and did not think it was for me since it can be labor intensive and messy. Omi's class in the Nuno technique got my creative juices flowing and afterwards I ran home and dug out all my previously purchased felting paraphernalia. Worked on a few art pieces and a few wearable items for my up coming shows and I must say I'm happy with the results. Artists Sherry Shine asked if I thought this would be a new direction for my work. Hmmmmm, it just might be.
