Finally Finished... felted wall hanging

I finally finished working on this project. I didn't get any comments or suggestions on finishing the edges so I couldn't help myself... I had to couch some decorative yarns over the raw interior edges and hand made some edging on the felting machine to finish off the exterior edges. And as you can see the project grew in size.  I was playing around and made the 3D circular shapes one evening when I had some time to kill. I decided to incorporate them into the piece I had already made. That meant I needed to make another section. Since three is always better than two in the design world.

This was strickly an intuitive piece of art. One experiment lead to another and one piece lead to another. It's hard to appreciate all the textures in the photograph. I had a lot of fun with this piece and my felting machine has opened up so many possibilities for creating art with fiber
