Here are just a few of the items that can be made with silk and wool. The first image shows a bracelet made from wool roving beads, hardened with a little mop and glow. Along with these, Joanie has strung some hand dyed silk cocoons and commercially made beads.

Image two shows a ring: the band was made from silk roving and the top of the ring is a piece of a hand dyed silk rod, soaked in mop and glow and left to dry. ( they were left outside ontop of leaves in a tree, so they would pick up the shape of the leaf)

Joanie made a variety of vessels, bracelets, flowers and pillows as shown in the images to the left. . She needle felted a selection of silk hankies and wool roving onto the wool base in each sample.
