nuno
Nuno felt is created by layering very small amounts of wool tops onto fabric ~ usually silk or cotton. During felting the wool fibres migrate through the open weave of the fabric, shrink and tangle together which distorts the cloth gathering the fabric in giving the finished fabric wonderful texture, it drapes beautifully and is really lightweight
It was then made into a book cover ~ I still dont have a camera so I had to scan the book this made the flowers a little squashed :) oops
another of my first ever samples of nuno!

How beautiful is your journal cover. Nuno felting looks gorgeous, I hope to be able to play around with it one day (Dot and I are doing a felting class on my birthday in May....cant wait).
this is gorgeous - i really love the colour and the texture!
i've had one or two tests with nuno felt but haven't really explored it properly, love the idea of fusing two textiles together :)
Pretty..pretty pretty!
Yellow is such a warm and uplifting color isn't it?
I know it doesn't always do your creation justice when you have to squash it in the scanner, but this looks awesome, scanner or not!

Your nuno felting is beautiful. I love the book cover.
i've always wanted to give nuno felting a try...you've renewed my interest in it...your piece is beautiful and i really love it in yellow.
I admire the fact that you always seem to make something from your experimental pieces. Mine always end up in the 'someday' pile. Oh and by the way my dye supplier was hit very hard by the fires, currently not able to supply. I'm hoping my supplies will last until they can get back on their feet.
This is so beautiful Jude! Love the colors and the technique sounds fascinating. What a perfect way to use your piece of nuno felting. Love that yellow.
As Jacky said we are both looking forward to doing a felting class in May. Have wanted to do one for such a long time. It will be fun, fun , fun.
Wish I could do a class with you.

Beautiful bookcover! Love the other sample too.
How gorgeous! I love that rich gold colour and your machine embroidery is beautiful. I'm off to google nuno felting and find some instructions...
Love Linda x

oH, what fun - love your journal cover, the fabric mixed with the wool and the machine embroidery ontop of that. Yummy Judy!
