A Little Felting and Little Fabric

 

  Here’s a little felted and fabric collage.  I started by laying several colors of roving across a piece of wool felt.  Lightly hand felted and added a few coordinating fibers.  Using a fancy zigzag stictch I stitched the fabric collage to the felted piece.  Across the top I added a few different sized turquoise buttons.  I also cut several small circles from a peachy colored fabric, and randomly sewed them to the felted piece with small beads.  Finally I added a real twig across the top of the fabric image, and secured it with embroidery thread.  I loosely fastened the entire piece to the rusty gate frame.  The fabric piece measures approximately 6×8 inches.
