Adding additional layers of fiber to the resist surface...
...and narrowing the brown (trunk) area a bit on each side.
Layers of wool are added over a small pocket resist...
...and yarn-embellished pre-felt squares...
...decorate the 'tree skirt'.
Three narrow felt cords are fashioned on each side...
...(prevented from 'felting in' by a thin strip of bubble wrap down the middle).
A star shaped resist is cut from bubble wrap...
...and the resulting tree-top star is embellished with golden tussah silk...
...and pre-felt accents.
After partially felting the star...
...it's stuffed with loose roving...
...and attached to the top of the tree...
...using large basting stitches.
Next time: 'tree branches' are added...
...and the felting continues!
