Resist ideas

[heartfeltbyelizabeth]

Hi,
I don’t have the right brain cells to know what shapes of resists will produce what type of object.  I can do pods, bags, pockets, and hats, but I’d like to try and create other 3d objects.

would anyone be willing to share pic of their resists and the object that was the result, so I can try to better visualize the process?

Thank you,
Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth,

Many times the shape of the resist can be the same and the felt object can be different. This is achieved through differential shrinkage and the way the fiber is laid out. I am going to share a bunch of posts (hopefully, you haven't already read them all) that might help.
