I love wet felting!! Once you get started on it, there is a nice kind of rhythm involved and it has a sort of remedial effect. So, this piece was started while I was watching T.V. one night. I made the background felt first, which is merino wool, silk tops and silk throwsters waste. Then I made the flowers, and it all evolved from there. I added a few of the TAST stitches, so I can now tick a couple more off my list - couching and running stitch.

Wow, delicious! I have never tried felting - oh, except for needlefelting! It looks like it might be a bit too physical for me! Do you use a matchstick blind or bubblewrap or some other method I know not?

Thankyou for all of your wonderful comments. Sonya, I can't find you -do you have a blog or FlickR site. I made it with bubble wrap, and it is about 26" x 10" (Long and Skinny)......
