Fishy Felt


i made the design with wool roving, then sloshed hot, hot water on it, then wrapped it in a cocoon of bubble wrap & net around a plastic floating tube, THEN rolled it and rolled it and rolled it with my forearms, squishing all the water out and miraculously binding the wool tightly together in one piece (hard work), then rinsed it and threw it on the ground five times, then dried it in the sun and that's more than you wanted to know about Wet Felting.  Now the idea is to embroider it flamboyantly and add bling.  I kind of like it the way it is - softly felt.
