Swatches of patterned silk...
...(cut from a vintage scarf)...
...are applied to the surface of the fiber on side one...
...and pieces of shibori-dyed silk are added to side two.
The rubbing commences...
...and over a period of time...
...the fabric is slowly incorporated into the wool.
Mid-way through felting...
...the soft felt is cut to reveal two handles! :)
Next time: the felting continues.

The silk adds lovely patterns, doesn't it!
Rachel--I think the butterfly piece was kind of 'old lady-ish' as a scarf, but it doesn't look bad as an embellishment, does it?!?
