diy felt art
In my online trolling for ideas for cheap and easy do-it-yourself art projects, I ran across this idea recently at Heather Jenkinson's blog. A friend of hers made this kinetic art installation from felt balls. It reminded me a little of a very cool installation I saw one time at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, when I was down there as part of a consulting project. That one was a series of little ceramic replicas of various bacteria (WAY larger than life, obviously), spread in these giant swirls over the walls. Creepy as it sounds, I was actually quite taken with it. This felt installation, though, sounds a lot easier to pull off.

ReplyDeleteI checked out her video on how to make the felt balls, the only thing is I couldn't make out what she say on what type of felt fiber she is using, can you please help me out? Thank you, Rain
ReplyDeleteSorry, Rain Dropps, I've never tried this myself and so can't provide any guidance. I'd suggest heading over to Sara's website and pose your question directly to her. I believe she actually sells what you need for a project like this.
