Adding under-the-sea elements.
Stitched pre-felt, Angelina, neps and roving.
The runner wetted out.
My aunt and uncle recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary...
...and I wanted to make them something special.
I've also been wanting to play with some open-weave, synthetic fabric that I bought recently...
...to see how well it would felt.
So, I laid out a layer of cotton gauze (purely for structural support)...
...and covered it with a fine layer of variegated green roving.
I added the synthetic fabric next...
...and 'trapped it' with a bit more roving.
To make the undersea tableau...
...I added strips of sewn pre-felt (for seaweed), rings of roving...
...sparkly Angelina fibers, and other waveform sections of pre-felt.
Next time: the finished runner (with a tiny bit of embroidery!!).
