The partially felted piece.
The fully felted pillow cover.
The finished pillow...filled with a standard pillow form.
For this pillow cover...
...I worked from the front, back.
This means that I started with a bit of soap glue...
...and laid out my design with the things I wanted in the front, first.
After the pencil roving layer...
...I added layers of brown wool roving and a layer of cheesecloth.
Although I've trimmed most of the pillow covers I've been making, lately...
...this one seemed to require a little more abandon.
It reminds me of something that you might see at a Renaissance Faire...
...or a stained glass window, with all of its bright colors!

My English is not good enough to read what you mean, but I think I can understand it. I'm going to try, because I like it a lot!!
Love, Riet
So beautiful! I haven`t made a pillow case in a while - you just inspired me to get started...
Thank you for the inspiration dear Heather!
