Laying out one layer of wool in disparate colors...
...and covering it with a perpendicular layer of other, unrelated shades.
Wetting the piece out...
...and applying 'patches' of silk and cotton fabric...
...to the project surface.
A layer of thin, painter's plastic is used to cover the layout...
...and a sander is employed to 'get the ball rolling'.
Once the project reaches the pre-felt stage...
...the water is squeezed out...
...and it's allowed to dry.
Next time: a second large fabric and wool piece is created.

I can quite see why the sander might have been a useful accessory - that's another huge piece!
Rachel--Yes...it definitely helps with large projects and especially with difficult fabrics (some of those shown are cotton gauze). It's NOT a help, though, when using resists, since it's best for flat pieces.
