Hand-Embroidered Jewelry Featuring Handmade Fabrics on Felt
Shimmering and light, but substantial -- this new technique of creating a translucent fabric and then bonding it to felt allows for beautiful, intricate designs that will endure. Recently, I created fabrics using Angelina fibers, embroidered designs on the fabric using metallic threads, and then bonded it to wool felt. I then embellished the edges with hand-embroidery as well. I also added crocheted embellishments in metallic thread to some of the pieces. Here's the result:
Similarly, I created fabric by dying a used dryer sheet with alcohol inks and adding metallic acrylic paint accents. I then took the recycled dryer sheet, embroidered a design using metallic thread and glass beads, and bonded it to wool felt. I also embroidered the edges with beads and metallic thread to create a round medallion. It is attached to a braided necklace of organza ribbon and crocheted, beaded chains of metallic threads.
