HeartFelt Silks Blog: Wonderful Felt Art by Friends of HeartFelt Silks

We are continuing the series we started earlier in the month and sharing more beautiful feltmaking by our friends and colleagues! We just love seeing all the fantastic felt art being made around the world, and we are delighted to be part of their feltmaking process through our felting tools, the Palm Washboards. We regularly share many more works by a variety of felt artists on our HeartFelt Silks Facebook page, so please follow us there for even more inspiration!

Nicole Burton of Parvana Creations (based in Ashland, OR) creates hand-felted and hand-dyed works of wearable art and home decor that have a unique and dramatic style. Take a look at these Native American inspired wraps, aren't they incredible!

And here is Nicole making one of her impressive felt pelts. You can follow Parvana Creations and Nicole's adventures in felt-making on her Facebook page.

We are glad to count Cristina Pacciani of Cricri Felt among our felt-making friends. Cristina has a studio and store in Amsterdam where she works on wondrous felt art and teaches classes.

Cristina is also the organizer of the amazing Arlecchino Project -- a collaborative worldwide project with felted large-scale installations in public places. You can find out more about it on the Arlecchino Project Facebook page.
