Bovine Sari Silk Hat- Part 3

Mid-way through felting...


                                              ...the project is turned inside-out... 



                                          ...and the rubbing and rolling continue.



                                                      The aqua merino fibers...



                                        ...begin to migrate through the silk fabric...



                                     ...and will ultimately nearly obscure its design.

                                                         (bye-bye bovines)



                                                  The overlapped silk seams...



                                                ...retain more of their pattern...



                                                       ...and original color...



                                                   ...as they begin to wrinkle...



                                                            ...and ruche.



                                                   Next time: the finished hat.

I think I will miss the bovines, but even so, it will be a fine hat!

Rachel--I, too, was a bit sad at first...but I think you will like the completed hat, too. :)
