Embroidered 'Bumpy' Bag- Part 1

Topping my purse resist with a layer of silk gauze...

...several strands of yarn...


                                       ...and snippets of fabric and finished felt...



                                          ...followed by a layer of merino roving.



                                        Wetting out the project with soapy water...



                                            ...adding a second layer of roving...




                                                ...and wetting it out again.


                                     Additional textural elements are now added...

                                           ...wool yarn, industrial felt washers...

                              ...and finished felt that's been cut into various shapes.



                                               Covering the whole shebang...



                                         ...with an additional layer of wool roving.



                                                  Flipping the project over...

                                ...and trimming off the overhanging silk and wool...

                                         ...except at the very bottom of the bag.



                                                   Next time: I begin side two.
