Beautiful! I love the colours and composition, the embroidery is wonderful. When you made the felt did you felt the fibres onto a fabric, or use rougher wool tops? The felt has a really interesting texture to it.

the fabric is made from roving, which is unspun unwoven wool, it's just hair at that point, so the whole thing starts as a puffy mass of layers of the coloured roving. after it was all felted, embroidered, and beaded, i hand stitched a backing of fabric on it.

I kept stumbling about this wonderful piece, and the more often I saw it, the more I liked it! The felt is so great, beautiful colors, and the tiny flowers are so sweet! Gorgeous piece!

Thank you, It is now the outer flap of a felted side bag/purse. I later sewed small red beads onto all of the berries, it sparkles when it catches the light just right.

doh, I think my comment got lost in space.
This is really striking. I love the blend of colors in the background. It will make a beautiful purse. If you are just starting out in this craft, you are going to be very fun to watch.

I think the irregular shape (as opposed to a square or rectangle) really adds to the sense of the organic in this piece.
The color gradient is truly impressive!
Congrats on such great work!
