One of my favourite pastimes has to be creating wet felted jewellery. I love the sculptural aspect of felting and when this is combined with small wearable items like necklaces and bangles, each one becomes a miniature piece of sculptural, wearable art.
These pieces were created early on during the lockdown when I came to realise that I was never happier than when I was working with lots of texture and a very simple monotone colour palette. In truth I’ve always known this but somehow it’s been amplified with spending much more time in the studio and noticing that the more colourful work was jarring with me!
The Superfine Merino necklaces are embellished with stitch, beading and tiny pieces of Nuno and finished with metal chain fasteners. The great thing about this technique is that each piece is totally unique, you could never have two pieces alike.

Lovely mixture of soft and sculptural and scatterings of bling! You really do have an affinity with these gentle shades.

These are indeed individual works of art Karen – lovely. I just hope it won’t be long before you have an opportunity to present them so that they find their new owners.
Have you backed them by any chance – the top right photo seems to show something?

Thanks Antje, I hope so too! In answer to your question, yes these necklaces and bracelets are all backed with black fabric.

Thank you for the info Karen. People have said I would have made a good detective – I’m glad my powers have not yet vanished into the ether!

Aha……I’m with you on the detective work Antje. We can learn a lot by really “looking” at an image and sometimes there are clues to be found in the tools or materials in the background too!
