Re: CHA Coolness Continues: Artfelt
I just wanted to comment that there is a bit of misinformation in the description of this craft process. Artfelt DOES NOT require using a washing machine!!!
posted: 3:05 pm on March 4thAfter creating your design on the artfelt paper, you saturate your piece with water, rolled it up with plastic (no roving or paper touching itself or anything else), and put the whole thing in a knee high stocking or secure it with rubber bands before putting it IN THE DRYER.
The piece is only felted for 10 to 30 minutes and comes out of the dryer still WET. It is the agitation of the dryer that felts the roving, not the heat.
Also, the paper is the same on both sides and has no "right" side.
