In my friend, Kiki's high-ceilinged...
...light- and plant-filled studio in Oklahoma...
...we made some hats!
Strips of hand-dyed and printed silk...
...are applied to the resist surface...
...and are covered with a layer of bright merino roving.
After flipping the project to side two...
...the process is repeated.
The fiber is then wetted out...
...and a second layer of roving is added...
...to each side of the resist.
Mid-way through felting...
...it's nearly time to turn the hat right-side out.

I like the look of those fragments of silk - very luxurious!
Rachel--My friend, Kiki, hand-dyed the 'non-print' ones and they ARE absolutely gorgeous!
