Seamless Formed Felt Lantern




Experimented more with formed felt -- cut shape out of packing styrofoam, layer roving, water, soap, agitation, pressure, etc. Made lantern/vase shape. Did brown outer layer first, then did whitish layer, embedding some glass between the wool layers. Needle felted the brown and white layers together. Plan on working with this idea on larger scale, so this served as prototype. Pictures shows without candle, and how it looks illuminated from within.
