During a (rare) tidy up in my studio last month I came across some sample pieces of coloured acrylic paper with wonderful textures.
Acrylic Papers
The reason I had hung on to them in the first place is because they are so beautiful, but I couldn’t see the point in putting them back in the drawer if I didn’t have a use for them……so I needed to find one! The result is this collection of wet felted, hand embroidered pendants with acrylic inserts.
Wet Felted Pendants
I’ve also been making solid necklaces and chunky bangles, again incorporating the acrylic papers.
Necklace and Bangle with acrylic paper inclusions
I’m a big fan of recycling, rather than throwing, and I’m now on a mission to find more things I can use as inclusions in my felting.

I think the pendants are gorgeous Karen. I love the colours, and the stitching and beading is wonderfully done.

These are fabulous – the textures remind me of my reticulated brass pieces!
