We are BACK! After a fairly brief hiatus due to life happenings M and I are getting back on track.
I got this amazing box of packages in the mail - 4 packages in one. I feel like a kid opening at Christmas, only I am only allowed 1 per day! I figure I will open 1, do that months, then go to the next. By mid July I should be all caught up.
For April I opened the very neat package - and found blue fabrics and off white roving.
My first thought - what is roving?
So I looked it up. It is most often used in hand felting to add dimension, new colors, or texture to a felting project.
Well how interesting. Hand felting is something I have wanted to learn. However, i don't think I want to actually FELT for this project. But, i am looking around and finding some seriously interesting textural possibilities. And apparently roving takes various dyes like a champ. I am already wondering about sharpies and alcohol.
It came rolled into a ball, but when I unrolled it I find it peels apart like string cheese. I also have some Ritt Dye around, this could get interesting...
