Table Topper for a 'Green-Loving' Friend

Laying out a layer of superfine merino roving...


                              ...and covering it with variegated, mixed-wool roving.



                                           After flipping the project to side two...



                                          ...adding an additional layer of merino.



                                                     Wetting the project out...

                                 ...and folding in the edges for a neat appearance.



                           Adding narrow lengths of variegated silk-and-wool roving...



                                      ...and felting them in, for a decorative accent.



                                                          The finished project...



                                                                   ...drying.



                                            The front side of the table topper...



                                                            ...and the back.



                                            Because of their silk component...



                               ...the variegated embellishments really catch the light...



                                          ...and depending on where you look...



                                               ...a different color is revealed!




                                             I will be taking a short blog break...

                                ...so please look for posts to begin again, mid-May.
