very interesting film on felt making

[crealou]

Synopsis: By genre, this film forms a transition between a portrait-like documentary and an educational film. It showcases the phases of felt production, from sheep trimming through wool processing to the various felt techniques. It is revolutionary and a novelty that elevates felt into the heights of today’s modern artistic branches. Its goal is to provide knowledge of felt making—as one of the most ancient textile making techniques—and to make it more popular.

I didn't have time either - I was only going to have a quick look but watched the whole thing! Very interesting. The rug was wonderful.

I bet she doesn't feel the need to go to the gym after work!

Thank you for the link Crealou. The rug is just beautiful and the animations were entertaining My youngest grandaughter has a penchant for repriles at the moment. I made a crocodile, but mmmm - an inflatable lizard --- now there's a challenge!!

This came at a good time for me as I have twisted my knee and am resting it on the sofa hoping to get it better for tmy busy weekend.
