Placing embellished pre-felt pieces on the resist surface...
...covering them with merino roving...
...and wetting the project out.
Adding additional wool...some coarse, some fine.
Flipping the project to side two...
...and repeating the process.
Adding rings of coarse wool...
...and filling in around them...
...with merino roving.
Cutting a handle resist from foam underlayment...
...covering it with wool, wetting it out...
...and felting it to the pre-felt stage.
Separating the handles...
...and removing the resists.
Adding a handle to one side of the tote...
...and covering it with additional layers of roving.
Flipping the tote to the reverse side...
...adding the handle...
...and then additional layers of roving.
Rubbing and rolling the piece.
Next time: both of the finished totes...together! :)

Lovely. Bright and colourful, although I do feel as though I've lost count of the number of sides you've decorated, so I am really looking forward to seeing the finished items!
Hahaha, sorry, Rachel!
Only 2 sides per bag...but the design is inside (of course), so you'll have to wait until Sunday for the reveal. :)
Loving the circles and dots :) xxx
