[edit] Felt Craft

Part 2
Arts and Crafts General Conference	Skill Level 1
	Year of Introduction: 1956

The Part 2 Honor is a component of the Artisan Master Award .

[edit] 1. From what fiber is felt made? What gives it its tensile strength?

Felt is made from wool. Wool hairs are covered with tiny scales (see photo) which cause them to interlock with one another. The scales on a wool fiber are similar to the scales on a pine cone.

[edit] 2. List 15 uses of felt.

1. Crafts
2. Felt-tipped pens

13. Pool tables

15. Rugs
16. Tents
17. Clothing
18. Textile art

[edit] 3. Give three reasons why felt is a good material for handicrafts.

1. Felt is inexpensive
2. It can be made in any color
3. It is durable
4. Felt can be formed into any shape
5. Felt can be easily cut

[edit] 4. List the essential steps in felt manufacture.

Felt is made by a process called wet felting, where the natural wool fiber is stimulated by friction and lubricated by moisture (usually water), and the fibers move at a 90 degree angle towards the friction source and then away again, in effect making little "tacking" stitches. Only 5% of the fibers are active at any one moment, but the process is continual, and so different 'sets' of fibers become activated and then deactivated in the continual process.

This "wet" process utilizes the inherent nature of wool and other animal hairs, because the hairs have scales on them which are directional. The hairs also have kinks in them, and this combination of scales (like the structure of a pine cone) are what react to the stimulation of friction and cause the phenomenon of felting. It tends to work well only with woolen fibers as their scales, when aggravated, bond together to form a cloth.

From the mid-17th to the mid-20th centuries, a process called "carroting" was used in the manufacture of good quality felt for making men's hats. Rabbit or hare skins were treated with a dilute solution of the mercury compound mercuric nitrate. The skins were dried in an oven when the thin fur at the sides went orange - carrot color. Pelts were stretched over a bar in a cutting machine and the skin sliced off in thin shreds, the fleece coming away entirely. The fur was blown onto a cone-shaped colander, treated with hot water to consolidate it, the cone peeled off and passed through wet rollers to cause the fur to felt. These 'hoods' were then dyed and blocked to make hats. This toxic solution and the vapors it produced resulted in widespread cases of mercury poisoning among hatters, which may have been the origin behind the phrase "mad as a hatter". The United States Public Health Service banned the use of mercury in the felt industry in December 1941.

Someone who was actually present at the event, someone with first-hand knowledge documenting the event shortly after it occurred. Examples would be birth and death certificates, Family Bibles (if recorded by someone witnessing the event shortly after it occurred. Letters describing the events as they are taking place by a person involved.

Secondary Source

Event information obtained from a primary source. For example, history books, encyclopedias, letters written well after the event.

For example:

• Primary Source: Grandpa wrote Grandma a letter while he was in the war telling of his experiences.
• Secondary Source: The article you write about your grandfather's experiences.

[edit] 8. Prepare a four-generation family chart – beginning with yourself.

Here is a blank four-generation family chart. Fill in the names after "name:", put the date of birth after the "b:", and the date of death after the "d:". If the person has not died, leave the date of death field blank. If you do not know a precise date, put a year (or a range of years). If you do not know a piece of information at all, leave the field blank.

[edit] 9. List ways to record your genealogy information.

1. Family tree chart
2. Computer Genealogy program
3. Family group sheets

[edit] 10. Research your family history by talking/writing to your oldest living relative. Ask the following:

• a. first memory
• b. When and where you were born?
• c. First church you remember attending?
• d. Names of schools, and location, you attended.
• e. Where you lived at age ten and age fourteen.
• f. From what country did our ancestors emigrate?
• g. Where and when were you married.
• h. If you had children please give their names, place and date of birth.
• i. Write a thank you to your relative for their time and include a photo of yourself and ask them if they would be willing to share a copy of an older family photo with you.

It would be a good idea to let your relative know ahead of time that your are interested in family history. He (or she) may surprise you with a wealth of documentation, and is sure to be delighted to share this information with you. You might get to read love letters your great-grandfather wrote to you great-grandmother, or see photographs you have never seen before. You may hear stories of long-dead relatives, or learn things you never knew about living relatives (such as your parents). It would be a good idea to bring an audio recorder so you can go back and listen to the conversation again. Such a recording will become a valuable part of your family's history.

[edit] 11. Make a historical record of your life including:

[edit] a. Genealogical chart

See requirement 8 for a chart, or use a computer program to record the information (you'll need to print it out in order to share is as per part e).

[edit] b. Records that pertain to your life

These records would include any of the following:

• Birth certificate
• Child dedication certificate
• Baptismal certificate
• Marriage license
• Military orders (assignments)
• Deed to family property

There is no reason for you to use the originals when you share this information with others, as the consequences of loss or damage can be severe. It would be better to make a photocopy. These days, identity theft has become a significant concern, so you may wish to black out some information but only on the copies. The Social Security number of living person should never be shared with anyone who does not have an official need for it.

[edit] c. Pictures

These can be put in a photo album, mounted on a display board, or made into a computer slide show.

[edit] d. Stories

If the stories have not already been recorded in writing, write them down. Even if you have an audio recording, a written record is still important, because audio technology changes over the years. It is entirely possible that you will be unable to find a tape player to play a cassette recording of your great-aunt's story in the future. CD's are nearly certain to fall victim to technology's relentless advance as well. This also applies to word processor files - print them out! It's already very difficult to read computer files that were ten years ago, and nearly impossible to read ones created 20 years ago. A written copy printed on acid-free paper will last for centuries if properly stored, and no special equipment is needed to read it.

[edit] e. Share this with your group/club/school

If you are working on this honor as a group, you can all get together and share your information. You can also host a get-together and share your personal history then.

[edit] 12. Visit a City/County Library – Genealogy Section (or other Genealogy Research Center) and write a paragraph on your visit including:
a. Types of information available
b. Any New information you discovered about your family

[edit] 13. Visit a cemetery and learn by copying the headstones:
a. The names of three different families
b. The dates of birth and death for these family members
c. The average length of life for these family members

[edit] 14. Check with your local cemetery officials to learn how upkeep is done and ask them how you can help with clean-up in a cemetery in your area. Then do it!
