"Veiling" With Silk Gauze- Sample Tote

                                    I fashioned this tote with leftover pieces of finished felt... 


                                           ...wool roving, and layers of silk gauze.

                                       

                                   The gauze 'traps' the snippets of fully felted wool...


     

                                    ...as it, itself 'becomes one' with the wool roving.

   

                                  (I even 'ensnared' a few glass beads for shimmer!)

                                     

                                       Because of the transparency of the silk gauze...

                                 ...the colors of the finished felt pieces remain visible.

Visible, but slightly clouded, creating a very different effect.

Rachel--Exactly!! It's a 'softening' effect...good for calming down bright colors a bit! :)
