Felted Vessel Experiments- Part 2 of 2

Adding yarn snippets...

...to the surface of the resist...


                                    ...and covering them with layers of wool roving.



                                                     Mid-way through felting...

                                 ...two felted cords are wrapped to form a handle...



                                                   ...and tied with wool yarn.



                                                      The finished project...



                           ...has more surface decoration than my earlier vessel...



                                    ...and the stitches that hold the cords in place...





                                                 ...are rather wild and wonky.



                                                       The finished vessel...



                                   ...and all three of the projects that I completed...

                                        ...while visiting with my friend in Portland.



                                            Thanks for a great visit, Elizabeth!

A productive and fun visit, indeed. And "wild and wonky" stitches sound really wonderful!
