and the final projects for the week

working on this felted piece--I washed wool sweaters purchased at the thrift store in hot water until they "felted" although the technically correct term, I believe is "fulled" then cut them into squares and using a hand needle felter I attached colored wool roving (wool before it is spun into yarn) and then embellished. I used the "felted" sleeves of the sweater to make hand warmers.
