Without a doubt, crafters are stretching the boundaries of the felt making discipline. Taking advantage of wool's natural tendency to shrink and entangle, many artists actually use felt through a variety of fabrics, including silk, gauze, lace, and velvet, to completely change the look and feel of the material and create a wide variety of surface textures. In this series of blog posts you'll find pieces that synthesize a range of materials to provide a sensational effect and so give the felt objects an added artistic dimension.
