So here is the first in that series: How to wet felt a curly-que, just like the one you see here!
These little curls are really useful as embellishments or as fun elements in larger pieces, I use them all the time. Besides, they are a great place to start because they work up quick, don't take much roving, and they are just as whimsical as all get out. They can take something that is kind of ho-hum and elevate it. They can also be just the thing to add a touch of the organic to a piece that is feeling a little staid or static.
I hope you enjoy part 1 of this tutorial, parts two and three will follow shortly!
Part 1: Taming the wool (The wind up)
Part 2: Prepare to get wet (Felting it up)
Part 3: Taking shape (Forming the curl)
