Inlay designs.... with wet felting

Felt Bag or Purse

These are two of my felt bags. They are approximately 6x8 inches with long handles. Made from NZ Corridale wool. I used a black wool roving type yarn that I got a Michael's for  the inlay design. I loved playing with the yarn making the swirly inlay design.

   

 Heres another bag which I have not added handles or decided how I want to finish. This I played with some prefelts and yarns laying thin wisps of the main color sliver to "lock" them in place. Daffodils were in bloom!

There is a "before picture" of this inlay on my May 14th post
