long dreadlocks more details photos here http www gingasquid com shop show_single_product php prod 549 posted by ginga squid at 12 30 pm 5 comments labels dreadlocks dreads extensions felt locks merino wool friday october 14 2011 how to heart felt soaps lovely lady leanne from feel at home brought me over some of her new zealand olive avocado oil handmade soaps with sea salt and infused with essential oils of sweet fennel roman chamomile to felt so i thought i would document the process as i notice i haven t blogged about anything for a year or so which is very slack of me 1 choose your soap and some colourful wool roving merino felts nice and easily 2 using a block of foam felting needles very lightly needle felt some wool into squares large enough to wrap around the bar of soap two thin layers of wool works well one ontop of the other fibers lying in perpendicular directions 3 wrap the square of lightly felted wool around the soap and wet it so that all the fibers are dampened using the hottest water you can stand rubber gloves will help 4 using a thin sheet of plastic eg cut up shopping bag wrap this around the hot wet woolly soap so that it makes a parcel then rub this parcel on all sides ontop a bamboo mat or non slip piece of plastic mat the roughness makes the warm wet wool fibers felt together when rubbed 5 when the wool has started to felt together and feels a little secure around the bar of soap take it out of the plastic wrapping get it nice and damp again with really hot water and then get back to rubbing it directly on the uneven surface keep this up for around 15 mins until the wool has completely felted on all sides and fits snuggly around the bar of soap 5 rinse off the excess soapy suds under the cold tap and leave to dry on a wire cake wrack first layer is done 6 after a few days when the outer layer is dry but the soap is still a little moist underneath it is time to needle felt some designs onto the base layer i use a size 38 felting needle careful with your fingers or you will leave blood marks on the felt 7 finished posted by ginga squid at 8 20 pm 11 comments labels felt felt squid ginga lather merino needle nz soap wool friday september 17 2010 sunrise oolite and a woolly jumper gosh sorry queen grand purl baa i ve been so very awol this absence will probably continue for a while until i get the sack from my proper job i ve just had this little woolly brooch returned to me from an exhibition in waiheke island it features a piece of one of my favourite gemgrade fossils called oolite from the fantastic heart of stone studio its such a satisfying word to say oolite describes a sedimentary rock formed with ooids meaning egglike spherical grains in concentric layers this oolite comes from wyoming and is multicoloured with pink and gold spots of fossil other materials used faux bone sterling silver merino wool needle felted base metal washers and microscrews thai karen hill tribes fine silver beads purchased fair trade copper backplate small beads and a brooch pendant clasp length 7 5cm about 3 inches width 6cm about 2 1 2 inches i have mainly been knitting recently it has been very cold and rainy here in nz and so this happened useful for keeping warm and doing bank jobs the thick thin meltwater wool i bought on sale from the yummy online nz yarn shop called yarntraders run by the lovely helen who stocks exotic and unusual yarns fibres felt and fabrics i m hoping spring summer will be here soon so the evenings are lighter and i can get more creative stuff done instead of wanting to curl up under my duvet and block my ears to the sound of the constant rain i can t believe it rains more here in nz than it does in the uk how is that possible posted by ginga squid at 8 48 pm 13 comments labels jumper oolite sunrise woolly saturday june 19 2010 pink optic fiber turquoise brooch pin with felt crochet apologies my 9 5 mon fri office job seems to be getting in the way of things and all i want to do in my spare evening time is knit knitting is my latest addiction but it is fabulous to have some cash coming in on a regular basis and some warm woollies i finally got around to finishing this piece which incorporates optic fibers with a pink led the led is hidden inside the felt on the back and is powered by a small flat 3v coin battery the beautiful multicolored piece of turquoise purchased from heart of stone studios size 42 5mm x 33 5mm comes from right over the tibetan border in china it is the same source of turquoise that the tibetans have used and worn for centuries i have also used oxidised copper uv resin vintage shards of pink glass brass eyelets merino wool needle felted beads crochet thread conductive thread bamboo bone craft wire about 10cm long by 8cm wide
