Pieced Purse Revisited- Part 2

Adding layers of black wool...


                                          ...to both sides of the project surface...



                                           ...and attaching the hanging loops...

                                                        ...to the top of the bag.



                                                Fashioning an internal pocket...

                                           ...from scraps of colorful nuno pre-felt...



                                       ...and covering it with layers of black roving.



                                              After rubbing and rolling for awhile...

                               ...the pocket resist is beginning to work its way out...



                               ...and the felt begins to shrink and to become firmer.


                                              Next time: the resist is removed...

                         ...and the purse is turned right-side out for further felting.
