Merino roving...
...pulled into short, thin sections...
...and laid out on the surface of the resist...
...for embellishment.
Covering the colored tufts of wool with a layer of white...
...and filling in, all around, with aqua and green roving.
Sectioning roving into long narrow strips...
...and braiding them together to form a long cord.
Working inside-out (again)...
...I laid short, narrow tufts of merino roving...
...onto the surface of my resist.
Covering the design with white roving...
...(to form a background)...
...I continued to lay out the rest of the bag in various shades of green.
Instead of a rolled cord for a tie, like in my previous project...
...I made this one from carefully braided sections of roving.

I find it great that you share the whole process with us. Grt.Mattie
It looks lovely - gorgeous colours!
oooh, I like the green and turquoise.
Very interested to see how the braided cord turns out - one to try I think!

I am interested to see how the braided cord will turn out. Nice colors!
Mattie--I enjoy doing tutorials (of a sort)! :)
Rachel-I love the bright grass green and aqua together!
Andrea--Me, too! :)
Amanda--I hope you will have a go! I tucked the ends under my water container to hold them and then just carefully braided them, since the roving is pretty fragile.
Kelly--It worked out very well...I was surprised! :)
The fiber arrangement is truly an art form.
Vivian--Hahaha...you are adorable! Thanks!
From what I can see of it this far, this is going to be spectacular! :) All that lovely green, but I really like the way you laid out the short strips of wool. Can't wait to see it finished.
Sandie--Thanks! Yes...the little bits of roving were fun to lay out.
