What does this need? Is it finished?

[elizabeth]

Pictures are a poor substitute for real life, but here are some.
This is a shawl on nuno silk with merino and various thrift store silks, and yarns.
I feel like it needs something. i thought about cutting into the beige areas & ends to make fringe.
I also wondered if I can add bubbles? The inside of the bubble would be the nuno. Would that work?
  Laying on the table
 
On me (hello everyone!!). It naturally rolled into a shawl collar.

Holding up an end for a better look. If I added bubbles it would be there on the end. Or that's where I'd cut fringe.
A closeup of the included fabrics. The solid brown did not felt well. The white is interfacing I saved from the deconstructed garments. The shiny brown is from an evening gown I got at the thrift store YAY!

Elizabeth, I think it's beautiful the way it is, but then I'm the one who loves organic edges. :-). I'm not sure about adding bubbles unless the places that you'd want to put them haven't been completely fulled. As far as fringe, I usually do that about half way through felting process so that when I roll the fringe it will still felt. Were you thinking of just cutting the fringe and leaving it without further felting? I love the up cycling you've done.

I say it's done & it's lovely.
I think if you cut fringes into it you might feel the scarf ends up a bit short in proportion? Just a thought. & as Marilyn alludes to, you'd probably need to rub the felted edges again.

I am always thinking along these lines, as far as art wearables go--“less is more.” As with Marilyn, I love the organic edges. And as Jill said, “done and lovely."

I like it the way it is. But if you think that you don't want to wear it as a scarf, you can cut it in half and make two cushions (repurposing).

Thanks for the lovely comments, all. It was looking terrible as I was laying it out, but I kept adding to it and I really like the result.
It's not fulled completely. That's why I think I could cut the ends and rub them into a fringe. It's really long so I don't think it would come up short. Since there is still some looseness that's also why I thought I might add some bubble texture. I might try a small spot somewhere to see if it works.

Nice to see the real you Elizabeth

You could certainly try the bubbles, it would probably work since you haven't completely fulled it. Remember that bubbles take a lot of material to make. You could always stitch them to hold if they weren't as tight as you'd like.

I too like it the way it is.

I love it just as it is!

I like it and if you finish fulling it, it will shrink some more. I was going to warn you about how much material the bubbles take to make. but Ruth already did that.

Very nice - I would not add anything

[koffipot]

I'm with the others. It's done! Beautiful!

[zed]

I like it as it is, too.

And that’s our final answer!

[koffipot]

I'd say the answer is unanimous Elizabeth! So wear it with pride.

LOL! Thanks, all!
