Pieced Nuno Pre-Felt Purses- Part 3

Laying out four flea market silk scarves...


                                             ...and covering them with merino...





                                                      ...or 'hairy' wool roving.



                                    The squares are wetted out with soapy water...





                                              ...and rubbed and rolled for a time...



                                               ...until they form nuno pre-felts.



                                       Next time: the cutting and piecing begins!

It is endlessly fascinating, isn't it, to see the effect of the colour of the wool on the print and vice versa...
