Handmade green pre-felt is trimmed into 'spiky' sections...
...and added to the surface of the project.
It's prevented from 'felting into' the body of the hat...
...by pieces of thin plastic from a grocery bag.
Mid-way through felting...
...the piece is cut open and the resist is removed.
(The hat is flipped inside-out from time to time during felting...
...to work on the seams.)
Whew...the hat finally reaches its desired size!!
The fully felted hat...drying.
At first, it reminded me a little of a dragon...
...but as ornaments were added...
...its true nature began to reveal itself! :)
Next time: the finished hat!!
