Felted Creations by Galina Blażejewska

Nuno Felting

“Felting allows me to dive into the magical world of handmade goods – everything is possible here – as if by magic almost any shape can appear in one’s hands from formless pieces of wool. It can be a flat scarf or a three-dimensional object, a seamless piece of clothes or even a lamp, shoes and a hat.” – Galina Blażejewska, on Felt and Fiber Women

Nuno Felting is a fabric felting technique developed by Polly Stirling, a fiber artist from New South Wales, Australia, around 1992. The name is derived from the Japanese word “nuno” meaning cloth. The technique bonds loose fibre, usually wool, into a sheer fabric such as silk gauze, creating a lightweight felt. The fibres can completely cover the background fabric, or they may be used as a decorative design that allows the backing fabric to show. Nuno felting often incorporates several layers of loose fibres combined to build up colour, texture, and/or design elements in the finished fabric.Wikipedia
