May – Painting and Felting Scarves

Lisa showed us how she paints and felts her beautiful scarves over 2 days in May. The first Monday we painted our silk scarves with Sun Dyes. We all scrunched or folded our scarves, then we applied several colours of Sun Dye using sponge brushes.

After painting our scarves we put them outside in the sun to dry. Unfortunately the sun was not hot enough in late Autumn so we had to carefully fold them in plastic and take them home to dry.

The following Monday we looked at Lisa’s beautiful felting and felted our own.
