Laying out a flower using thin sections of merino roving...
...and adding a cloud of dyed blue tussah silk for background shimmer.
Covering the flower with a layer of blue roving...
...then flipping to side two...
...and adding strips of dyed silk to the surface of the resist.

Bright red merino roving goes on next...
...and then a bit more blue.

Finishing up the 'flap side' of the resist in glorious red.
Wetting out the project, prior to adding the cord.
I was going for a 60's, Twiggy, Flower Power kind of bag with this one...
...so I dug through my stash for bright red and blue roving and silk.
Working 'inside-out' as usual...
...I placed embellishments on the foam resist and covered them with layers of roving.
Next time: the finished bag.

That red does indeed look glorious!
Rachel--I was happy that it photographed so well.
Usually, I have trouble 'getting' reds! :)
The red and black should look good with this. Guess I have to wait to find out. :)
Sandie--It's actually a dark navy...you'll see soon! :)
