Nuno Felt, solid cloth and roses

The picture placement on this entry seems to have a mind of its own, so the layout is a little cattywampus. Depicting two components of project working on. First, the roses, made individually, using wet felting process..roving and tulle. The next set of photos show wet process for making solid cloth, which I plan to use in conjunction with roses. Starts by laying out the roving, then water/soap, then agitation (lots), and voila. Note: Faster than completing book, not faster than buying it, plus plenty of bending and muscle movement. Of course, buying it is cheating, and commercial "store bought" felting won't look the same. My roving lay out is not even enough, which creates a bit too many variations in the completed cloth. Inherent beauty, or room for improvment?!
