Assembling some of my supplies...
...silk paj, pre-felt snippets...
...and a teased-open silk cap.
At first, I included a hand-crocheted scrumble, too...
...but, as you'll see later, I end up ripping it off.
Wetting the project out...
...and covering it with a thin layer of wool roving.
After wetting out the project, yet again...
...I add snippets of red silk...
...(repurposed from a thrift store blouse)...
...a layer of black silk gauze...
...and a morceau of polka dot-printed silk on each side.
Side one, mid-way through felting.
Removing the aberrant crocheted bit. ;)
The fully felted scarflette, drying.
Next time: I go a little wild with my sewing machine!

"Going wild", huh? You tease, you!
Rachel--Mwahahahaha...
I can't wait to see the finished product!
Thanks, Kim! This one is a prototype, so you'll see over the next few weeks that I change things up a bit with each one.
I've never used so much silk to so little wool, I'm a little nervous to for some reason.. This is looking wonderful, I can;t wait to see it's progression :)

Deborah- It is really amazing how one thin layer of wool can connect so many silk layers, isn't it?
