Beautiful Lyn, what did you use as the white "resist" material between the wool and cotton fabric? Thanks Teri. It's quilter's cotton batting (wadding) and white Paj silk on top.

Ooops - sorry - I forgot to explain the three photos. The top right shows where the silk ends at the edge of the merino wool and you can see how the silk mutes the vibrant colour. The bottom right shows an angled view - you can see the merino fibres having worked right up through the cotton batting and silk.

Oh that was the technique I was going to try, Lyn. I might do still, with a different centre layer. How interesting to use cotton batting. it's a pretty picture

Wonderful vessels and fabric Terri. I want to have a go at a box. I think I remember your book resist I will have to go over to your blog to check it out. Lyn the flower turned out really well. It is amazing how wool travels sometimes.

Lyn - Such a pretty and delicate piece. Really beautiful.
Teri - 3 lovely and very different dimensional pieces. The sturdiness of the box contrasting the delicate white fabric. Look forward to seeing the finished product.

Thank you everyone Nada, the box was made using a 4 page, book resist, there is an example of the resist shape for a cube which is very similar in this tutorial, linkThanks Teri for giving me the link. I would like to try this square shaped vessel too. Lyn, could you please explain in more detail the embossing technique which you found in the magazine? I don't think I quite understand it completely.

Lyn, could you please explain in more detail the embossing technique which you found in the magazine? I don't think I quite understand it completely. I put down 4 fine/medium thickness layers of merino wool, then placed the embossing shapes on top (the shapes were cut from quilter's batting/wadding). I placed net over it all then wet it down with tepid soapy water - gently pressing until flat and all fibres wet. I removed the net, then I covered the whole thing with a piece of white Paj silk and pressed down gently. I replaced the net on top and rubbed the piece flat until it was felted (I lifted the net often so that the silk did not attach to it), then did gentle rolling until it was fulled.

Here's one I made earlier, not really three dimensional but a little bit of lift. It's a representation of early spring when the snow and ice are starting to melt on a river.
