"Purse-travaganza"! Part 7 of ?

Applying bits of colored silks, lace...


                                  ...and snippets of re-purposed, knitted sweaters...

                                                ...to the surface of the resist...




                                  ...and covering them with variegated wool roving.



                                                       Wetting out the piece.



                                             Applying a second layer of wool...



                                                     ...(another 'hairy' one)...



                                          ...then flipping the project to side two.



                                          Adding additional pieces of silk, lace...

                                            ...and re-purposed, knitted garments...


                                                      ...to the resist surface...


                              ...and wrapping the overlapping wool from side one...

                                                   ...up and around the resist.



                                                 Covering side two with wool...



                                              ...and wetting out the surface.



                              This time, between the first and second layers of fiber...

                                               ...I add a few textural artifacts...



                                         ...(a soft felt ball, a piece of felted cord...

                                             ...and some finished felt remnants).



                                        Neatly enclosing the resist in purple wool.



                              Next time: a white interior layer and pocket are added.
