Felting

Thought I'd post a before and after photo of a 4x6 felted piece. I find that felted fibers are a perfect base for adding embellishments. I created a lot of metal embossed items last year; nothing is ever a waste of time when it comes to "doodling." In this case a transparency of a couple on a small tag was first attached on the left side. Then I decided that the felted heart on the right wasn't bold enough. After auditioning a few hearts this one was the winner along with a scrap piece of metal resembling an arrow. I've since backed the piece with muslin and edge stitched it.
