I've been messing around with soluble stabiliser.I made a sandwich of stabiliser with snippets of various threads and some wisps of wool tops (roving)in the centre, hooped it and put in the sewing machine. Then I free machined all over it with polyester and metallic threads. Then I cut it into a square with a zigzag edge cutter, pinched the sides together in the centre and stitched them partway to make the shape. Finally I rinsed out the stabiliser leaving just enough to keep the fabric stiff, shaped it around a glass jar and left it to dry.

So delicate and ephemeral! Lovely!
Cool stuff! I like your ideas and the way you sculpt things. Your felt is lovely with the beadwork on too. What soluble stabiliser did you use? I am looking for a good one.
