I thought I'd show you how a collar looks after I lay it out and before I do any felting work. This piece includes silk cocoons, silk thread, silk fabrics, wool roving, wool yarns, bamboo and a bit of cotton fabric and gauze. After the felting process is complete, it looked like this:

The little shawl pin you may notice on the collar/scarf was a find from a thrift store. I love thrift stores. You can find the greatest things to recycle, either with their intended purpose or some new use that perhaps no one else has ever thought of. I do love the way this one turned out.
