Jellies...

This new piece is my favorite yet. Felting is like painting with wool and silk. It is fascinating, delightfully textural, and pure joy for me. This piece is 22" X 35". I will be making a bar hanger for it in my metal class on Monday evening, just picked up the flat bar to do so. Corriedale wool base, merino wool top, silk, mohair, wool yarn, hand dyed silk caps. The piece was inspired by the Jelly Fish exhibit at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
Below are photos of part of the process.. laying out the layers, wetting, and rolling
