Close up.
Ruched cotton gauze backing.
Glittery Angelina fibers and dyed locks.
With the addition of a little color and shimmer...
...the slightly off-white hue of the 'mystery fiber' was no longer an issue.
The dyed locks provided a bit of texture, but not too much...
...since a table runner should be as safe for underpinning a vase of flowers...
...as it is for cradling a warm casserole dish!
I like the way that the pencil roving doodle...
...morphed into a vine bearing colorful flowers.
And the batt-like quality of the short fiber merino...
...helped it to felt into individual blossoms quite easily.

It's beautiful. I love how the colors changed from the pre to post felt.
Very colorful, typical good for summer. Your pieces are always inspiring. Thanks for your comments on my nuno felt post.

Fabulous Heather -- luv, luv, luv it!
Thanks, ladies!! I'm glad the colors weren't 'too much'!! XXO-
So pretty, perfect for spring/summer. I love the colors and the abstract look to the flowers. Your felted bags are so amazing, too!
Thanks, AG! I'm glad you stopped by!
awesome to see other colors...lol
I had a chance to use the cotton as a middle for the bag I finished today. I really like how it helps give the bag reinforcement. Thanks for the tip! :) It felt good to felt again....lol
Kelly--I'm glad you like the springy 'brights'!!
...and I'm so happy that the cotton layer worked out for you, too!!
The vine effect is particularly good - this is a lovely, cheerful, springlike piece!
Thanks, Rachel!
Your runner is really lovely. I love the look of the ivy running through it, and all the beautiful little flowers. It just screams Summertime, with all the bright colors in happy abandon. Thumbs up, without a doubt! :)
It turned out great! What a great summery addition to your table :)
