Art work: Mimi Spirits by Thompson Nganjmirra - Mimi spirits are nonphysical beings who have been present and active since Creation and are attributed to the Kunwinjku people, of Kakadu. This blog has been developed to display my work for the City and Guild Level III Certificate in Embroidery with Sian Martin of Distant Stitch and other interesting photos of Australia and inspirations from my travels around the world.

Felting Workshop
Three samples of felt made at a felting workshop at the College of Fine Art in Sydney.
1. Rolling - Felt using natural merino fleece felted in the traditional central Asian rolling technique.
2. Inlay - Coloured felt with merino fleece in rust and olive green, rolling technique inlaid with threads and mohair slivers. The technique of creating holes was also practiced in this sample.
3. Nuno - the technique of Nuno felting uses the rolling technique to felt fleece into loosely woven fabrics (cotton voile, silk organza). Various designs can be achieved with this technique and it can easily be adapted to clothing and other items.
