Creating a resist from a sheet of foam floor underlayment...
...and covering side one with two layers of merino roving.
Adding a 'spike' to the flap...
...(to form one-half of the bag's closure).
Flipping the project to side two...
...wrapping the excess wool up and around the edge of the resist...
...and adding two layers of wool to the bottom half of side two.
(A small loop is added as 'partner' to the spike).
Carding merino wool and dyed tussah silk together...
...using a 'dollar store' cat brush...
...and adding bits of colorful pre-felt...
...and dyed flax fibers...
...to create the 'feather'.
Fulling the clutch.
I love making felt envelopes for various purposes...
...and this time, I had in mind a very thin, soft felt clutch...
...made from pure white wool...
...with a single, colorful embellishment.
Next time: the finished project.
