Drafting a foam underlayment resist...
...and adding decorative elements...
...fashioned by my cousin, Wendy.
(For the center spirals...
...glass beads are threaded onto a piece of wool yarn.)
A layer of blended silk and merino roving is added...
...and the project is flipped to side two.
Wool that extends from side one...
...is wrapped around the resist...
...and the process is repeated.
The top of the bag is folded down on each side...
...and a layer of coarse wool roving is added.
Mid-way through felting...
...the edges of the project are beginning to curl...
...as the bag begins to shrink on the resist.
Next time: my cousin's 'sweat equity' begins in earnest! Grin.
