Now that it's delivered (late) I can show this felted postcard I made for Claire's birthday. I started with a piece of felted navy wool and a used dryer sheet. I machine felted on both sides until I had a cloud-like look to the front. Then I added a small piece of cotton orange and yellow sky fabric and felted it front and back. Then I added fine shreds of wool roving and felted lightly on top only (using pale pink, pale blue and yellow. Finally added the purchased fabric butterfly then zigzagged around the edges with variegated threads.
