I started this piece a few weeks ago and got stuck, cause I wanted to add some more but didn´t know what and how. I finally decided it had to be Red and circular. So here it is - the finished
Red Jellyfish
Needle felted, quilted and embellished 43cm x 33cm
Taking a photo of this piece is absolutely impossible. Don´t ask why! I tried in different rooms, different light, with and without flash and even outside. No matter what I try, it looks awful. Either the orange in the felted area looks like a neon orange or the colours are all dull like in the pic above. So I´m afraid, this is all I can show to you, sorry.
The jellyfish are done by wrapping red yarn around key rings of different size. I got the idea for them from the last "Stitch" magazine, where they did buttons in a similar way.
Here is a side view:
And here is a detail which is a bit better.
I think it might be the diffent reflection of the materials. The yarn is like silk and the felt is matt.

How cool! I would never have made the leap to create those red jellyfish, but they are perfect to spice the quilt up! They are a wonderful addition, and carry the dimensionalism of the felt another step further.
I liked the way you finished this piece - the 'jellyfish' brings it together nicely.
