Following my resolution to take things more slowly , I have been gradually developing a piece , felting it and then letting it dry before felting some more. This gives more opportunities for adjustments along the way .
My starting point , was a collection of prefelts , all covered in silk organza, one piece of which had been stitched.
Here is the back , showing the prefelts pinned together , at the back , so the pins can be removed.
After the first felting.
Looking quite good , apart from end of stitching which needs to to threaded to the back and the edges that need a bit of straightening.
A little more felting and thinking about bottom edge.
Should it be straight?
To add constrast I now removed some parts of the silk.
Well I think its felted now , I just have to decide what to do with the spare silk at the top.
Quite an enjoyable process , taking it slow !
