My beautiful cousin...
...hard at work! ;)
As she rolls...
...the bag begins to shrink and to get thicker.
The project is turned right-side out...
...and the foam underlayment resist is removed.
Notice how well the wool yarn...
...felted into the surface of the bag.
...the layer of coarser, hairier wool...
...migrates through the finer silk and merino layer...
...resulting in a slightly marbled appearance.
Cutting slits for a leather 'thong' closure.
Threading a long, narrow strip of leather...
...through the slits in the felt bag...
...and adding a metal 'jump ring'...
...to help hold it closed.
The finished jewelry bag.
Well done, Wendy!
