As the felting continues...
...black fibers begin to migrate through the white wool...
...turning it a lovely heathery grey.
I roll carefully, changing orientation regularly...
...to maintain the piece's circular shape.
Once fully felted...
...beads and seed pearls are sewn onto the felt surface...
...as 'celestial glitter'...
...and I embroider running stitches...
...and French knots....
The reverse side of the project...
...with hanging loop.
The organizers of Felt Feutre asked Canadian feltmakers...
...and all workshop participants...
...to create a small wall-art piece...
...depicting the movement of the stars (stella motus).
They will first be displayed as a community felt installation...
...and later sold to provide scholarships for the next Canadian Felt Symposium.
