"Roaring Twenties Cloche" (Blue Versions)- Part 2 of 2

My foam hat resist (newly reduced in size).


                                        Fiber from a hand-blended, mixed batt...

                                         ...is applied to the surface of the resist.



                                              After flipping the project to side two...



                                           ...additional layers of fiber are added.


                                                  Mid-way through felting...

                                      ...the hat is starting to shrink and take shape.



                                                         Removing the resist. 



                                          Cutting rows of slits into the soft felt...



                    ...and trimming the bottom row into teardrop-shaped extensions.



                                              The two finished cloches, together...



                                                ...but staged as 'bowls'! :)



                                       I think they look pretty interesting this way...


                                                             ...don't you? ;)

I've certainly seen felt used for bowls, so maybe you have dual purpose hats, here...!
