Bovine Sari Silk Hat- Part 1

Trimming a piece of patterned silk to size...

...to showcase the design.


                                                   After setting the silk aside...

                      ...two layers of merino wool are applied to the resist surface...



                                                        ...and wetted out.



                                      The silk is applied to the wet wool surface...



                                               ...covered with the foam resist...



                                        ...and a second piece of silk is applied...



                                                             ...and wetted out.



                           Wool from side one is wrapped up and over the resist...



                                      ...and layers of wool are applied to side two...



                                                            ...and wetted out.



                                                    Next time: felting begins!

Rachel- Yea...it's cool, isn't it?!? (Sadly, it's not really visible in the finished hat.)
