Nuno Felt meets Shibori & Indigo

I needed a project to test out my homemade Palm Washboard. I must give credit to the design to 'Heartfelt Silks though. I wanted to learn how to use the Router at 'Ladies in The Shed' and this was a good reason, and the result works a treat, plus my hands are not soap dry like they normally after a session of Nuno Felting.
Scarf is cotton gauze Indigo Dyed with Shibori folding and Triangles. The pre-felt is a mixture of Merino, some indigo dyed, some commercially dyed, some silk and cobalt silk threads. Then cut into triangles to tie in with the scarf and then felting onto the scarf.
