Laying out the back of envelope number two...
...this time, with a 'flanged' center flap for its opening.
Adding raw locks to the resist surface, tips down...
...and covering the cut side of the locks with a layer of cotton scrim.
Wrapping orange wool from the back side around the resist.
Mid-way through felting...
...and during fulling.
(Look at all of that glorious orange!!) ;)
The finished envelope with center 'turtleneck' flap.
Trimming the excess felt, prior to stuffing and stitching.
Twisty upholstery tacks hold the seam in place during stitching.
Next time: the finished pillow...
...in all of its textural glory! ;)
