Has anyone tried this idea? I recently saw an article about it can't remember where, thought I would have a go. Armed with glass surface board, hot glue gun and glass stones with flat sides I got to it. Next is to try it out with a wet felting project.   |

Armed with glass surface board, hot glue gun and glass stones with flat sides I got to it. Next is to try it out with a wet felting project. Carole I have two of them. One on an old cutting board (rough up surface first) the other on a wooden board with a handle. I find it best for nuno since its smooth, but it will work on any felt. You can see them in this blog: feltingandfiberstudio.com/2014/02/12/felting-tips-from-the-forum/Have fun! |

I used mine last week for a demo trivet. This is the felted piece before I started 'extreme fulling'  and this is after it shrunk as much as I could make it:  |

WOW, Zed!! Do you rub the piece ON the pebbles, or the pebble board ON the piece?

I rub the piece on the pebbles, the board is quite heavy, thick perspex. I'd love a curved one like Judith made to help with vessels.

Elizabeth, the one I have with the handle can be rubbed on the piece. It's a matter of preference.

Learning from you guys, I made two hand held ones, one bigger than the other, but I can use one in each hand on a larger piece (rubbing on top of the felt). I find them brilliant ! They are also handy to use as weights when laying out ! I must make a big board now that I have seen it !

Judith, what did you use to make your curved bead board?

For those who may have missed it - marbles sealed in a heavy duty storage bag - "food saver" system bags work best - makes a great rubbing tool especially for curves. Also put felt piece on bead board and then rub with marble bag double friction.  |

I wonder if you were to use one of those bags and if you laid the marbles flat and sucked the air out if that would work as a bead board. Just would have to tuck and tape the sharp edges around the lot to make sure it doesn't cut into the piece as you full it. If you have small bags, I wonder if you could make a small one to get in tight areas.
Did you vacuum seal your marble bag, Frances?

Yes, Angie - the one pictured is one I did with a zip lock bag and it did not hold up well - the one I use now is vacuum sealed and it is holding up well.

I would think if you glued them to a flexible plastic place mat maybe with a little more space between you could get it to go around curves and with some smaller ones even inside something.
