Evolution

 Creating a contrasting cocoon using wool blend felt
 piecing two colors

 drawing the wrap tight with a running stitch and creating an organic edge with a satin stitch,


 tip: let an ombre or varigated thread do the work and create more interest than a single color would
overlaying more color with fine point markers
 the "nest" for this fimo clay piece is made from scraps of a recycled wool sweater
 more thread wrapping for the fimo elephant
my next step will be an acrylic (easy cast) pour to lock in the colors, give the illusion of more depth, and preserve the composite materials that each piece is made up from.... stay tuned.........
