Lace and Cut Velvet Sample Tote- Part 2 of 2

Mid-way through felting...


                                      ...and after turning the project right-side out.



                                          The teal roving is already quite visible...

                                       ...through the sheer sections of silk velvet.



                                        Cutting a "U-shaped" handle on each side.



                                                   The finished tote (side one)...


                                          


                                         ...with close-up detail of the felted-in lace.


 

                                                         Side two of the tote...



                                          ...with its own interesting textural detail.

                                        

                                                     With this tote sample...

                                        ...I wanted to explore color and texture...

                               ...using two different kinds of partially sheer fabric...      

                                          ...and two different colors of wool.

                                     Next time: I use scraps of finished felt, pre-felt..

                                     ...and strange, 'bobbly' yarn to make a tote!

The contrast with the teal and black has turned out really well, hasn't it!
