Textured 'Neutrals' Journal Cover- Part 1 of 2

Laying out a few tangles of neutral yarn remnants...

 
...and adding bits of silk, lace, and cotton gauze.

 
Tufts of camel fiber, tussah silk, flax, neps, coppery strands of Angelina...

...bamboo viscose thrums, silk noil and milk fiber all come next.



The marbled layout, as seen through the foam underlayment resist...
 
...and through the first layer of wool.

 
This dot of blue keeps the 'front' and 'back' sides straight.

 
The fully felted piece...

 
...blocked and drying.

 
Making a journal cover in 'neutrals' was a recent challenge...

...but I didn't want it to be too plain.

Looking through my bins of fabric scraps and fiber...

...I pulled out everything that I could find in neutral tones...

...and added it to the mix.

Next time: the finished piece...

...with faux burl wood bookmark.
