Hand-dyed silk from my friend, Lorin.
Laying out scraps of old projects and pieces of yarn...
...then covering them with layers of wool...
...from a hand-carded batt.
More yarn, pre-felt snippets...
...and pieces of bright silk make up side two.
Wrapping the wool to the front to cover the embellishments.
(I'm working inside-out again.)
More layers of batt are added to each side...
...and felting is begun!
Next time: the finished tote (with lots of close-ups!)

Not to mention the familiar orange colour!
Rachel--You know me so well! :)
I do hope all those lovely designs and bright colors come through, in tact. They looked great!
Hahaha, Sandie-You'll just have to wait and see! ;) Giggle.
LOVE the funky yarn design on side 2, and the colours are gorgeous! Looking forward to seeing the finished item :)

Thanks, Deborah! I hope you will like the bright result!
