"Spring Cleaning" Compost Bin and Lid- Part 1 of ?

Laying out variegated roving...


                                                     ...in a circular shape...



                                                          ...and wetting it out.



                                          Adding a thin layer of wool from a batt...



                                   ...and a layer of variegated green wool roving...



                                                     ...in a circular fashion...



                                          ...to cover the entire project surface.



                                                    Wetting out the piece...



                                 ...and tucking in the edges for a neat appearance.



                                      Applying a very thin ribbon of bubble wrap...

                                                   ...along the project edge...



                                     ...and a decorative orange spiral in the center.



                                 Cutting short sections of wool and silk-blend roving...



                                           ...and placing them, perpendicularly...

                                        ...across the narrow bubble wrap resist.



                              Next time: the compost bin lid continues to take shape.

It seems that a compost bin cover is a recurring task - a good opportunity for experimentation, too!
