felt up

i've been wanting to post these for awhile now- because well, they're super cool. and everyone knows what a huge fan of felt i am.

created by liz maly, an architecture student in seattle, felt cafe is home to a bazillion super cute and super original felt creations. i was drawn in by the ipod cozies (i love homemade ipod covers, it's such a pleasant contrast to the uber techy ipod look) and then found the felt bracelets (which i will soon be the proud owner of!). liz makes each one by hand and the result is a website full of artfully crafted, beautifully designed products. you can't go wrong with anything on there, it's all gorgeous. for those interested in details: liz makes all felt from hand, from fluffly wool before it's spun into yarn. with hot water, dish soap, and friction, the wool fibers become tightly interlocked. the result is dense, soft, warm and waterproof felt.

go check out felt cafe and order yourself up some gorgeous felt goodies. ooh, and all orders can be customized so enjoy!

ps: did i mention it's ac's birthday and that i love him to death? wink wink...
