Halay - her blog link is in her signature. Just look at the bottom of her post and you'll see it there.
Teri - those came out great. I think the cuff idea will be amazing with beads added to it. You really got some good texture. Was this what you were looking to achieve?

Hi Ruth, they're not quite what I had in mind when I set out (your suggestion of shibori dyeing a laminated felt came the closest) but they all have such fantastic texture that I'm sure these techniques will get used in future pieces. I think I will give your suggestion another try but with just a single, very fine layer of merino to see if I can get the folds to be more "crisp".

Thanks Judith, I have a couple of pieces with deadlines on them to finish first but will make the bracelet a priority after those....

Teri - I think you are right to try less wool. Perhaps you could make a laminated pre felt that was just a very fine layer of wool. Then stitch it, dye it and then full it? Perhaps that would give you more definition?

It turned out great. I have been making some sample for a class and I think some beads are just what it needs.
