Making a surface design sample with wool batts...
...a layer of hand-dyed silk, and small foam resists.
Placing selvedge, string and yarn onto the surface of the main resist...
...and covering it with a layer of roving...
...in a number of bright colors.
Adding design elements to side two...
...folding in the rays of wool from the front...
...and covering this side with wool roving, as well.
Wetting out side one and turning down the top edge...
...adding more wool to each side...
...and beginning the felting process.
Next time: the bag begins to take shape.
