Felting continues to captivate me. As with my vests, I am still using a piecing method, seen in both the square and triangle pillows. The color batts are created using a drum carder, felted and then added to commercial fabric. The two pots show the use of resists, surface design with additional fibers and beads, often following the design created in the felted piece.
