Applying linen cut-outs to the fabric surface...
...and covering them with variegated wool roving.
Flipping the project to side two.
The finished project...
...with felted-in textural elements.
Unfortunately, the 'busy' pattern of this silk...
...obscures much of the impact of the linen cut-outs.
The finished felt.
This white silk, linen and wool "sandwich"...
...(made as a 'negative' of the first project: using linen with holes removed from it)...
...showcases the linen layer beautifully.
Without a pattern to obscure it, the texture is much more visible...
...especially when held up to daylight.
("Sandwiched" felt like this would make lovely curtains!)

I'm intrigued - I would have thought that linen would not felt well, or remain within a felted structure. just think of all the opportunities for experimentation!
Rachel-It IS pretty cool! Most open-weave fabrics felt very well, because the wool fibers can get between the threads and 'grab' them!
Whether it worked well or not, I don't know. I do know that I love the greens and oranges together. Looks gorgeous to me. LOL
Thanks, Sandie!
