I chose a simple color scheme made up of natural white roving...
...and some soft and lovely brown roving given to me by my wonderful friend, Becky.
(Thanks, again, Becky!)
I stretched out dyed silk hankies to fit the general shape of the tote on each side...
...for a subtle and slightly shimmery embellishment.
Next time: the finished tote.

Very nice so far!! :)
The silk does produce a lovely cobwebby effect, doesn't it!
Rachel--Yes! I also love the dense 'blobs' that you get from where the cocoon was sometimes!
