Covering a cone-shaped resist...
...with blended silk and wool roving...
...and folding in the overlapping rays of wet wool...
...to match the edges of the resist.
Flipping the project to side two...
...adding more silk and wool roving to the surface...
...and wrapping the green 'rays' around to the orange side.
Additional layers of variegated pink wool are added to each side...
...and felting is begun.
Checking the firmness of the felt...
...to see whether it's safe to remove the resist.
Next time: the finished cozy...
...with green leather finial.
