I would call my latest project a whole month dose of fiber because it took me really long to finish it. Over time I've collected quite a number of scarves of different material (cotton, silk and cotton mixture, viscose, pure silk, polyester, etc.). Time to start using them! So I found some matching scarves and tore them apart into more or less similar rectangles. The idea was to make a nuno felted mosaic jacket. As a base I used black South Australian merino (don't like it but had plenty and wanted to use it) I arranged the squares in random order. In order to avoid any suprises later (material not attaching to wool) I had to anchor the edges of each piece of fabric so I placed wisps of wool all around the eddges (very time consuming!). All in all I spent three days just laying wool and making the mosaic. This is what I got in the end: www.ipernity.com/doc/724735/44171826 and here is a close up www.ipernity.com/doc/724735/44171828. The front and the back were made in one piece, while the sleeves were made separately and then merged together. It's a jacket with interensting texture and a good school example how different fabrics behave differently on wool. Beautiful jacket Nada. I spotted it on Fb the other day.

That'll keep the pot warm and it'll last you for years! I like the colour choice and the way you've worked the handle - a very pretty cosy.
