This is my latest felt, two ferns - this was very intricate and time consuming to do - laying strands of felt onto wet pre-felt. Very scary to felt without moving the threads out of place!!
I used shades of black, blue and green to add detail to the fern, and experimented with filling in some of the loops to make a solid colour leaf.
Felting reduces the size of the felt, and makes the image fuzzy, so the image has to be spaced more and made larger to compensate for a 1/4 - 1/3 reduction.
I think this is a great result, it looks beautiful held to the light as you see the threads more clearly inside the felt. However, i think the process is too intricate to be felted - the effort may be better as a drawing, and perhaps detail in felt achieved by free-sewing on the machine, afterwards. Will try another technique next time to compare...
