Placing sheer fabric on the surface of my resist...
...and covering it with layers of a cotton-dot-studded wool batt.
Flipping the project to side two...
...and adding additional fabric.

Covering the entire resist with layers of wool.
Turning the project right-side out...
...midway through felting.
...midway through felting.
Side one...
...and side two.
As you can see...
...some of the fabric didn't 'felt-in' very well and is starting to bubble.

This project is one that I began this summer...
...with time left over at the end of my week at Felter's Fling.
Using green wool batts with multi-colored cotton dots from Wollknoll...
...and silk and rayon pieces left over from other projects...
...or purchased from Annemie Koenen's lovely and well-stocked shop in The Netherlands this summer...
...I laid out an inside-out purse.
Because time was of the essence...
...I didn't spend as much time rubbing as I should have...
...and several of the fabric bits didn't really 'felt in'.
Next time: the denuded purse...
...and how I rescued it! :)

ahh Heather how frustrating.. such a shame they didn't all felt in well, they are gorgeous, interesting fabrics and I can imaging how wonderful they would of looked.
Have a lovely Christmas xxx
Oh my goodness, what I see here is so very lovely, and now I fear what might happen because some bits of it didn't felt in properly. Your original idea was a great one though. Totally lovely in every way. :)
Deborah- I only lost the purple ones, so it's all good. :)
Sandie- Thank-you! I did sort out a 'fix' that's kind of fun.
Can't wait to read about the rescue operation!!
Kathy--Thanks, and Merry Christmas!
Clearly it's never as simple as it sounds!
Rachel--Hahaha...I ended up using 'brute force' after all! :)
