Placing thin, 'painter's plastic'...
...between the overlapping layers, front and back.
Mid-way through felting...
...I trim around the embellishments...
...to make them more 'overt'. ;)
Fulling the garment.
The fully felted tunic back...
...and front.
Once rinsed and dried...
...I embroider around the embellishments...
...with burgundy, boucle yarn...
...to help define my decorative elements.
I still need to sew hems in the silk fabric underlayer...
...but for now, here's the (mostly) finished tunic back...
...and festive front!
