Making pre-felt using bright wool batts...
Pinning my original circular weaving to the first piece of pre-felt...
...and my latest woven circle to the second.
Carefully machine basting each circle into place.
Even though the stitching caused the second circle to pucker a bit...
...it's not a worry...
...since the finished purse is designed to have a curvature, as well.
Placing the first circle face up on a sheet of bubble wrap...
...and wetting it out with warm, soapy water.
Covering the whole shebang with a foam resist...
...and placing the second circle face down onto its surface...
...creating a 'fiber sandwich' with a yummy foam filling! ;)
Adding additional bright fiber to cover the bare edges of the resist...
...and applying two layers of white merino to the project surface...
...on each side.
Next time: the finished purse...
...with green leather strap and closure.
