Cushiony, vibrant color fills the room...
...and I had a nearly irresistible urge to mound some of this lovely, autumnal wool up in a corner...
...and to jump into it, like a pile of leaves!! :)

Here, Dominique begins her layout.
She adds surface detail, turns the edges in...
...and continues (for quite a long while!) to felt the piece.

Wouw, the colors, i love them. Happy days with felting :)
Thanks, ladies! I loved being around so much color!!!
It'a amazing to see how thick and how MUCH wool was there at the start of the rug, and then see how flat and smooth it was, at the finish. Just amazing to a non-felter like me. LOL
Sandie-It was pretty amazing to me, as well!!
What a gorgeous piece, vibrant and full of life!
Ohhhhh WOW these mountains of wool !!!!!!!
(love to see more !)
Rachel and Els- Stay tuned for more wonderful rugs!
