When I found this image I was so happy, after hours of research on the interent into felting, my heart was sinking becasue all I was finding was bright orange felted hats and bright pink felted slippers and I was loosing faith! This image came from the Shirdak Silkroad Textiles website, which is a gallery of Central-asian nomad textiles and felt carpets. This felting is just beautiful, the the layering, texture and structure. I like the cross hatch pattern that has been created on the bodice of the dress, it looks like the felting may have been done onto silk to create this effect. I also like the strands of felt that have been taken and tied in a knot on the shoulder. I would like to experiment with felting onto silk and see what effects can be created with this technique!
