This is my first foray into nuno felting. I used a natural dyed (cutch) silk organza fabric with plum and lavender wool roving fibers. I tried my best to arrange them in a smoke plume.
Process: I laid out the scarf, and rubbed Joy dish detergent and cold water on the scarf. I then arranged my wool fibers. Next, I put a plastic trash liner on top of the scarf and rolled it up with a little bit of bubble wrap. I secured it with rubber bands, and rolled it like 250 times. I then unraveled and ran in under cold water. I applied more Joy and cold water. I carefully folded it and slammed it in my bathtub until my arm hurt. It is now hanging to dry and I am spent.
