Felted... thing

Wet felted wool on a form I cut out of a reusable shopping bag, roughly 10" high x 10" long x 6" wide. Cotton embroidery floss and cheesecloth added for colour and texture, more visible on the other side, but I prefer this side. The dirtier green was dyed with peppermint. I used a mix of corriedale and unlabeled, rougher sheep wool I get in a giant discount bag. At least I think it came from a sheep...

Wet felting is the process of agitating wool with hot water and soap to get it to felt together, like when you accidentally toss a wool knit in the drier and it becomes a new sweater for your ferret, except intentional.

I made this to hold LED branches I use as a makeshift Saturnalia tree.

Io Saturnalia!
