Today I am felting with the wonderful Chad Alice Hagen. I've admired her work from afar for years — having the chance to take a class with her was an incredible opportunity. The class is called "hand felted bark scarf" and is based on Japanese Mokume dyeing.
Because we only have one day to work, Chad pre-dyed our batts for us. Mine looked like this.
We've spent the morning, first felting the batts and then stitching them for the Mokume patterning.
I think they look sort of pretty just with the stitching in.
Next in store for them is a second dye bath. I'm leaning towards purple, although a rich brown still isn't out of the question. It has been a great class so far!
