Laying out wool and tussah silk layers...
...in various shades of green...
...to make the pre-felt.
Another new resist shape (as paper pattern)...
Another new resist shape (as paper pattern)...
...and, here, being transferred onto foam floor underlayment.
Cutting leaf shapes from the pre-felt...
...and adding needle-felted details...
...like seeds, stems and veins.
I wanted to try another new resist shape...
...and thought that it might be fun to combine raw Icelandic locks...
...and handmade pre-felt leaves.
After drawing my new bag shape onto craft paper...
...I transferred it to a piece of foam floor underlayment and cut it out.
To make the pre-felt, I combined various shades of green wool roving and dyed tussah silk...
...and felted it just until it held together.
From patterns that I traced from fallen Autumn leaves some time ago...
...I cut out pre-felt leaves, adding needle-felted details with bits of silk and wool roving.
Next time: assembling the raw fleece and pre-felt...
...and beginning the felting process.

Galina--I'm glad that you enjoy seeing my 'process'. I love to share my 'mad methods'! Giggle.

Each new resist adds something different!
I love the shape of the bag - and the wee leaves. They are gorgeous!
Oh, if I lived around the corner I would love to spend a day with you and make a bag!
ooooh, I'm excited to see this come together.
Now that I've had a chance to work with pre-felt, I want to try more. Maybe I should make some of my own first?
Can't wait to see your next step.
I love your works!Your ideas are fantastic!I'm waiting for next posts....Warm greetings:)))
Rachel--I hope so! :)
TM--Thank you so much. I would love to spend a day felting with you sometime!
Andrea--Jone's pre-felt is awesome and easy to use, but it's fun to try making your own, too. That way, you can incorporate all kinds of fibers and make it just exactly as you wish! XXO-
Diana--Thank you so much!! I love your dresses, too...they are beautiful in design and execution!
