I often get asked 'how do you make them?'. It is not really a difficult process but easier to show than explain. Today I will show you how to lay out and needle felt your fibres. The next post will be how to wet felt your art and then we will cover the stitching. The first thing you need is subject matter.

The technique of drawing gives a feeling of space. Pictures by Marina have different effects — of pastel, watercolour or oil painting.

For our second round of all things mitten I brought in a variety of other mitten titles which included this sweet little book that introduces the origins of wool (albeit in a somewhat roundabout way).
