Pieced Nuno Pre-Felt Purses- Part 1

Pieces of printed silk from my stash...


                                      ...are covered with layers of merino roving...



                                                              ...wetted out...



                                            ...and fashioned into nuno pre-felts.



                                   To the surface of a piece of shimmery gold silk...



                                          ...lengths of silk selvedge are applied.



                                  The silk is covered with variegated wool roving...





                                                            ...wetted out...



                                                         ...rubbed, rolled...



                                                         ...and lightly fulled...



                                               ...to create another nuno pre-felt.



                                           Next time: more pre-felt preparations!
