"Pollockian Pre-Felt" Purse- Part 2

Cutting out two pieces of pre-felt.

...using the purse resist as a template.


                              Placing one of the pre-felt pieces on the foam resist...

                                        ...and covering it with a layer of silk gauze.



                                  Adding several remaindered snippets of pre-felt...

                                             ...to some of the more open areas.



                                   Covering the project with a layer of wool roving...



                                                  ...and flipping it to side two.



                                     Folding in the pre-felt margins from side one...
                          

                                    ...adding the second piece of trimmed pre-felt...

                                        ...and covering it with a layer of silk gauze.



                                 Applying pre-felt and gauze to the 'flange' section...

                                                        ...in the same manner...



                     ...and covering the whole shebang with additional wool roving.



                                             Next time: felting begins in earnest.
