Back in January I eagerly dug into a box of felting supplies, a Xmas gift from my son & DIL.
The luscious color of this batt of pre-felt is called watermelon. Layers have been carefully placed and ready for the wet felting process.After lots of rolling and throwing and with the aid of a variety of 'curls' and pencil roving, this small plaid design was the result. It's more than a blank canvas yet it could still use more design elements.
My initial idea called for a lot of beading with the addition of hand embroidery. However, the more I studied the graphic design the more I realized keeping it simple was a better plan.

Nice and just enough embellishments.
I agree. Keeping it simple was just right. Great colors!
It is so important to be able to let go of original ideas and recognize and adapt to what a piece needs.
Interesting. I took a needle-felting workshop last fall and came home with pre-felt too...for needle-felting. It would be interesting to do it up and see if the results are similar...or not. Love your piece!
That is a luscious colour of red!Love the end result.
