This is the finished blue and pink Merino sculptural collar which I started last week at Felt Inspired in Belchford.
I used a press stud fastener to hold it in place and added a wet felted floral detail including three leaves, two cords and a ‘rainbow bead‘. I learnt the rainbow bead technique from the wonderful Dutch felt artist Annemie Koenen. They take a crazy amount of effort to make but are so beautiful it’s well worth it!
It’s gorgeous, Karen 🙂
We made scarf ‘samples’ at the well being group this week, for everyone to try out fine wool, and because we don’t have space for full scarves. I might show them your blog and see if they want to try something a bit adventurous!

That would be great Zed! I will look forward to seeing what they come up with. I’ve been sketching a few more very simple designs for collars so hope to have another to show you soon. Good luck with your group.

Your collar turned out very nicely. Will you be wearing it? I like the addition of the flower.

Thanks Ruth. I might keep this one as an example of my work and make another to wear.
