Laying out variegated roving.
Adding fabric band.
Close-up of tussah silk accents.
Encasing the resist.
Flipping the piece to repeat the process on side two.
Some months ago, when my friend, Linda was visiting...
...we attempted to make open-top bags using a resist.
Since neither of us had tried this particular kind of bag before...
...it was a case of the 'blind leading the blind'! :)
I had some beautiful variegated red and orange roving from my friend, Dawn that I'd been wanting to use...
...and a piece of highly textured, open-weave, orange(!) cotton/synthetic blend fabric...
...with which to make a wide stripe along the bag's middle.
Next time: the finished bag.

i do sometimes use sythetic fabric to felting stuff and it's great towork with. looking forward to see your result:)
Oh-hoh - color blast alert! That is some kind of color going on. :)
Not "the blind leading the blind" - call it "collaborative investigation"!
after having so much experience with felting like you hvae now this must have been a piece of cake ;-)
Thanks, ladies! I'm just back from Felter's Fling this evening, so more later!!
