Felt Jewelry

This is truly a beautiful work of art by Karin Wagner. It was spotted at Patina Gallery.

She makes each piece by hand, giving them a unique charm. She creates accessories, bags and scarves, always ornate with floral motifs. If chance led her to felt, she is not new to creation.

'Working with felt is simple. All you need is sheep wool, water, soap and your hands. It's wonderful to transform these long strips of wool into three-dimensional objects, only by moving your fingers! I try to invent shapes as light as possible.'

She manages to transform this rough material into objects of aerial lightness, very well designed, incredibly delicate, in a range of soft and tender colours.

These are felt stud earrings by Anette Wilhelmi of Gnu Design. They are 3/8 inch in diameter and sell for $32.00.

Anette stared as an apprentice in a seamstress shop. Then, she studied textile design in Maastrich Holland. After graduation, she opened a silkscreen studio in Bonn, Germany to print her designs and introduce them to the public. Shortly after her first exhibition in Bonn she began to work with felt. She had found the material fascinating since she had been introduced to the concept of textiles as jewelry in Holland. Within a short time she had produced some wonderful designs in bracelets and earrings. This was the beginning of her current collection of contemporary jewelry combining felt, stainless steel, sterling silver and freshwater pearls.

This felt flower ring is another Karin Wagner creation. It was spotted at Flow Gallery.
