Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Wet felting. I can rub and tug soapy wool into any shape devised by man or beast.
I've made some wet felt bowls which was great fun, and quite easy too!
I think next time I'd use the washing machine less hassle, although my hands were incredibly soft and exfoliated with the other method
Bowls are super fun. Be careful with the washing machine, though. I've ruined a few projects believing they would get done faster and easier, but they just ended up uneven with fibres from everything else mixed in (my bad for putting it in with a load of clothing.)
A light drier cycle does wonders once everything is pretty well felted together and just needs extra rubbing. The heat helps, too.
Thanks for the pro tips!
I've seen some amazing pieces on Pinterest years ago that was felted with silky ribbon bits. I just love the colours that you can get now with wool tops and all the lovely silky fibres to mix in, so much more variety than years ago, and potential
No problem. Felting with silk (or other fibres) is called nuno felting, if you want to get into that. I like to mix it up with cheesecloth and burlap for added textures, too. Loads of possibilities.
That's the word I was trying to remember!
Those textiles are gorgeous
I love old time skills like that! It's creative Wednesday next Wednesday you should totally showcase some of yoir stuff
I will if I remember. Unfortunately I forget to take pictures of most of it before I sell or give it away.
