Pops of Colour

Fall is neutrals... With pops of colour.

I have a little more stitching left to do, here, but I have learned more about felting and wet felting in making this. It takes awhile to get the feel of new materials and I have plenty of ideas I want to explore.



And when I found some unidentified red leaves on the ground, I overdyed this wool with them and a few maple leaves:

Thank you everyone! And Grace, yes, I love how the wool turns into fabric - and the texture and how I can combine fabrics with clouds of wool and silk roving, yarns, threads, beads - you name it! This appeals to my smorgasbord nature. There are stages as the wool felts - I have to pay close attention to the feel of it. However, I have really only dabbled a little and have so much to learn.
