Red Bag With Complicated Closure- Part 2

The long cord is attached to side one of the bag...


                                     ...and, after carefully taking measurements...



                                         ...the shorter cord is added to side two.



                                                             During felting...



                                         ...the merino yarn and pre-felt additions...



                                               ...'become one' with the felt...



                               ...and both closure loops become integrated, as well.



                           As the rubbing and rolling continue, the resist is removed...



                                     ...and the project is oriented in various ways...



                                              ...and is even turned inside-out...



                                                            ...for further felting.



                                                          The finished bag...

                                 ...hanging to dry with my 'green pumpkin' project.



                                        Next time: the complicated closure in use!
