Using my sari silk as a pattern piece...
...I placed bits of scrap paper under the bubble wrap...
...to function as 'size markers'.
Setting the silk aside for a moment...
...I laid out my pre-felt design...
...within the paper borders...
...and wetted it out.
Next, I carefully draped the silk over the pre-felt squares...
...so as not to disturb their placement.
The silk was then covered with one layer of variegated roving...
...in one direction...
...followed by a second layer, perpendicular to the first.
After wetting out the entire project...
...the wispy edges were carefully folded in...
...to create a neat rectangle.
Next time: the felting begins!
