Yesterday I made some Shibori felt, it uses the same technique as Shibori dyeing. First I made a piece of flat felt, then I used plastic beads and trapped them in the felt with rubber bands.

Next I put the felt in a cloth bag and put it through a 40 degree wash in the washing machine.

This is what the felt looked like when I removed the plastic beads and rubber bands.

Reminds me of a nudibranch, the Spanish Dancer.
You have introduced me to an amazing new source of inspiration Helle !!
it is really fantastic! It is certainly 'sub-marine'...kind of bodily, too.
How did you make the felt to start off with?? Sorry i'm kind of new to the felting shibori!!
