The serendipitous nature of felting can lead to exciting ‘variations’. This is one of those happy accidents! I love the way Alice has repurposed her unsuccessful project. I rather prefer it as a rippled mat, don’t you?

It is not often that something I am not pleased with the result of makes it onto my blog… the post I wrote with these photographs was an illustration of my experimentation with machine felting rather than repurposing a project that was unsuccessful. I see the project pre-felting as far more successful personally, but we live and learn with crafting.
Live and learn, yes. But, your felted ‘mistake’ is lovely!
