I cleaned out my lint trap the other day and couldn’t throw it out. You see, I usually toss the lint so frequently that I don’t have much to toss. Thanks to my recent slovenliness in this area, I had a nice 1/4″ deep pile of lint in an interesting shade of gray. Well, one can’t just leave lint lying about. I did the only thing I could do….I hooked up the felting machine. Click on an image for a larger view.
This is rather like punching room-temperature butter. In no time I had a nice “background.”
A simple landscape is developing.
It seems to be calling out for some additional thread work and beads. I’ll be able to get back to this in a day or two. I’m not going to feel too bad about letting this interrupt my thread painting project — this is a small piece and I’ll be back to the sun print next week.
I’ve felted dryer lint before, but it has been quite a while. I created some bark postcards that were a lot of fun. I never know when inspiration will hit. Perhaps I should let the lint trap fill up more regularly.
Oh no! What are the hummers going to do for their nests? Only kidding. Nice use of products at hand.
That’s neat, Franki! You have really made “something out of nothing”. Aileyn
Such creativity, dry lint 🙂 !!
It’s a lovely piece already!
Love the snowflakes!
Me too! Expect snow until the new year, then it all goes away — at least here at WP.
