When I do mine I literally wrap it in roving and place it between layers of roving, felt it and full it then I cut out the openings so you can see the glass. Love the idea of the lantern but you would have to use a battery light since the felt is <br />flammable :( If you want me to go into more detail I would be glad to, contact me through my etsy site, ifeltlikeitbyterry, and we'll get a dialogue going. <br />Cheers!

I'm so glad someone else has had a similar idea to mine...lol.<br />I thought I was nuts.<br />I have a vision of felt lanterns with glass (especially sea glass) embedded in them... I've made one successfully enough that I listed it on Etsy. My glass is not tight enough though. The vision I have is much closer to what your hanging pieces look like... sort of like mosaic candle holders are what I have in my head. I just can't get the process to come out with the image I hold...lol<br /><br />I am using a flat resist, layers of fiber (merino mostly) then a few pieces of glass here and there, more layers of wool and tons of rolling as best I can with a resist and glass... I roll gently and use my hands and spoons, rolling pins, whatever tool will fit in the spaces around the glass, to press and rub. I rotate and flip the piece often too, then full it by hand for a bit before removing the resist. I come out with a nice vessel with bumps where the glass is. When I try to cut a space over the glass, it loosens or the sides of the piece slump... any ideas? Maybe I should consider also putting some wire or twigs vertically to help support the sides...<br />Thanks for reading!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10065987982715144121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664516191882850845.post-16469088997066797432012-02-09T16:49:54.832-08:002012-02-09T16:49:54.832-08:00These are fabulous!!!
