During the final felting...
...care is taken...
...(even during fulling)...
...to maintain a rectangular shape...
...in the felted envelope.
While sorting through my 'leather stash'...
...I discovered a piece in acid green...
...and fashioned it into two strong handles.
The fully felted and dried project...
...awaiting its handles.
Next time: the completed tote.

I'm enjoying watching the process. It's quite work-intensive I see, and the results are beautiful.
I can just imagine if I were to attempt this, it would be hard to keep the piece rectangular and crisp....
Dawn--Thanks so much! Yes...this one took quite a few weeks to complete.
Rachel--You're right...that's the bit that takes some experience to sort out...a 'practice acquired' facility with wool. :)
