25.01.2022 Treble clef headpiece that later became a part of a costume that had been made as a contribution of many artists. I m so happy i had the opportunity to take this photo with the help of Mee Wong Cheng.

22.01.2022 Renda Singeleza / Renda Turca

22.01.2022 A refurbished vintage beaver fur fedora hat. Did you know fedora first worn by a woman on stage in a famous play Fedora, and the trilby comes from a stage adaptation as well of the novel Trilby? Both in the 1890's. I was hesitating whether is this a fedora or a trilby, what do you think? Has a greenish-brown colour that nobody would mix these days. Original leather sweat-band did not need to be changed as still in very good condition just as the hat. Once made in England. Available for purchase. #vintagefashion #slowfashion #recycledfashion #hatmaker #beaverfelt #fedora

20.01.2022 There s history behind everything.

19.01.2022 New mustard colourded porkpie style hat, made to copy an old, lost but beloved hat that I replicated from a photo. No hatblock were used and the wool hood is handmade.

19.01.2022 Handcrafted custom felted hat, made of very soft wool with a hand-woven strap, inspired by the Australian bush to protect against the strongest sun we have here!

19.01.2022 Back to modeling with clay again!

18.01.2022 Australian dolls <3 I m inspired! Doll business is on hold since 4 years... the reason I started felting in the first place.

17.01.2022 Just as all the past were.

17.01.2022 My last felted play-mat in use, combined with an amazing treehouse. Lovely to see how the children can just walk into it and get lost in nature while indoor and build stories after stories.

17.01.2022 Woven rugs by indigenous Australians.

17.01.2022 A bit of nostalgia, when I had some interesting painting commissions about a decade ago in Chile. Thanks mostly to bar ONACIU! <3 I miss you all! I felt nomad by then already.

14.01.2022 Woven Indian Textiles of the Chilkat tribe / Alaska

11.01.2022 The felt project with a class 1. They depicted a special story, I made my best to guide them, parents helped me to roll it into a strong picture. What a collaboration! It is a metre by 80 cm. #feltedwallhanging #wallhanging #class1 #workshop #communityproject #childrenworkshop #wetfelting #feltingtogether #craft #childrencrafts #childrencraft #craftingwithchildren #ancientcraft #schoolproject #handmade #handmadecrafts #groupproject #feltedpicture

10.01.2022 Once upon a time I made a headpiece as a part of a collectively made costume for a goddess of all wearable crafts and arts, where the treble clef portrayed that while women worked together they sang and told stories and so they had not only woven the rugs but the culture of their people as well, from the threads of lives that they spun out of the rays of Sun, Moon and the Stars. Their songs were the energy behind all creations. It resembled the high pointy headwear of the no...ble women throughout time and space in Asia, that even inspired the hennin in Europe of the renaissance princesses, and I gave it a little treble-clef-twist. The pattern around the crown symbolises men and women as they are the structure of societies, merged of the decoration of a 1000 year old Hungarian button and a 2500 year old Scythian tights. The woven ear-covers are the finely meshed structure of our societies where every one of us is the part of the whole. Above the crown there is the realm of gods: the Sun, the Moon and the Stars with the vortex energy that rises from the unity of creatures to keep creating. See more

09.01.2022 New additions to Instagram, you can read the details about each hat there. I am working on them since the pandemic started to kick in and we had to be careful with contacting, so our workshops were delayed. Still many more to come! Till then, in January, we will have Vacation-Workshops with children at the studio, making puppets, crowns and masks, bags and fairy-pods, and repeat the flower-making workshop that had to be cancelled due to many illnesses. Stay tuned! Let me get ready with the dates, expression of interests are welcome! #feltnomad #feltnomadstudio #handmadehats #hatmaker #felthat #hat #hats #hatter #custommade #oneofakind #mastercraft

09.01.2022 Haha, me in a video and the Stag!!... "Love is sacrifice", yes, yes, no other way! Sounds like it all were rather fun!

07.01.2022 Had a chance to make some photos together with the help of two beautiful women, Wong Mee Cheng and Laula Perey. Mee had been pointed something out to her son, but soon we got invaded by ticks.

06.01.2022 Filling up my instagram feed... soon they will all find their way to my shop.

05.01.2022 A huge play-mat, over a metre long, made as a custom order with big caves for the wild creatures, small burrows for rabbits and foxes. Pasture for the farm animals or roaming the hills and get lost in the swamp on the other side of the wild river. I want to be a kid again.

05.01.2022 See you today at the Studio! Rare days when we can work due to the rather constant heat otherwise. Below the lovely Christmas presents made at a December workshop! Well done! Please email me or comment here or call me, as i have no messenger on my phone. Boroka

05.01.2022 Little peep at the feltpiece i was working on last year. Technique is partly the old Scythian felt appliqué that we can see on their blankets; pattern is a combination of a 1000 year old Hungarian silver button and a 2500 years old Scythian felted tights. The rest is to be revealed later.

03.01.2022 Made my first kangoroo leather sweatband, you will find them in all of my hats. If you live around Perth, Western Australia, and wish to change your hat’s worn-out sweatband, or if it is a cheap syntethic material on an otherwise perfect hat, here i am for your service too, you have a hatmaker now in Perth. Otherwise.. wait for the hats, that are in the making and all look fabulous and unique! #sweatband #handmadehat #handmadehats #custommadehat #hatmaker #feltnomad #feltnomadstudio #felthat #wa #perth #perthcreatives #perthcraft #furhat #leather #leathersweatband #kangarooleather

03.01.2022 My latest playmat in use, seems like these toys are just coming together so well! Absolutely accidental that the previous playmat were combined with these toys as well, like an army for a good play!!!! Love those little animals tho in the caves and burrows peeping out!

02.01.2022 First scarves on this winter for sale, can be purchased on my website or from my Etsy shop. Superfine merino magically worked into a hand-dyed silk georgette fabric. https://www.feltnomad.com.au/shop/
