Adding wool from a yellow batt...
...to the project surface.
Forming an interior pocket...
...from leftover bits of nuno pre-felt...
...and additional yellow wool.
The hanging loops are made more 'of a piece' with the rest of the bag...
...by the addition of narrow windings of dark roving.
Mid-way through felting...
...the project begins to shrink and to become firmer.
Removing the resist and turning the bag right-side out.
As the felting continues...
...the purse is placed in different orientations...
...for even shrinkage.
As the rubbing and rolling continue...
...the once garish nuno pre-felt stripes...
...become more and more muted...
...and subtle.
As the bag nears completion...
...the flanged bottom is revealed to be a bit of a 'problem child'.
Next time: 'mischief managed'! ;)
