For the next six posts...
...I'll explore the use of 'hairy wools'...
Laying out a base of karakul blend wool...
...and applying decorative tracings of wool yarn...
...and areas of colored roving...
...to create a landscape.
A fiery sun is added...
...and the project is wetted out with soapy water.
A foam resist is centered on the surface of the design...
...and the decorative elements for side two are added.
These elements...
...are then covered with a layer of wool.
A strip of thin plastic is placed into the flange fold...
...and the project is wetted out.
Next time: a decorative interior pocket is added.

I love the look of this - very dramatic!
Thanks, Rachel! This one and the next two purses were made in colors that are NOT in my wheelhouse.
(They were made as gifts for blue and purple-loving friends.)
