Yesterday [I showed some 'process photos' of a white wool on silk scarf with Rusty Orange and Black designs](https://steemit.com/creativecoin/@soyrosa/the-making-of-a-nuno-felted-scarf-or-process-1) on top of it. Now, if you [look at those shots](https://steemit.com/creativecoin/@soyrosa/the-making-of-a-nuno-felted-scarf-or-process-1), you can still see all the loose fibers, laying on top of a very fine and open silky fabric. 

After this part, the 'laying out', I wet down the fibers (carefully, as to not disturb the design) and start 'irritating' the fibers as much as possible. This is mainly aimed at the wool fibers, that need to open up and start 'grasping' one another. To open up the fibers you can use soap and hot water, although I don't want the felting process to go too fast (as the wool also has to travel through the silk), so I often start with room temperature water and Olive Soap. 

Then I roll it all up, again, carefull, at this point it's all *loose fibers* still, in bubble wrap plastic, as the bubbles will provide extra *irritation* to the wool. 

From then on I roll this bundle of bubble wrap and fiber and silk on my table as often as I can, rolling it out and up again to check on the felting process, until the fibers are *felted* - ie, you can try to pick up a few fibers but they *stick* instead of fall out of your felt project.

<center><sub>It took me a while to learn how to roll the project in without getting wrinkles in the fabric and moving the fibers too much. Luckily it only took me two projects to find out little tricks that make the whole process go a lot smoother - which means less failed experiments :-)</sub><center>


# Some details of the felted projects

To compare with how it looks like before it's felted check out [yesterdays post](https://steemit.com/creativecoin/@soyrosa/the-making-of-a-nuno-felted-scarf-or-process-1). Here I'll show you some pieces/details of the scarf that have been felted. Notice the difference?

Now, I'm still very annoyed by the way I have to present my work - I have to find a way to properly photography the felting process and end-result. So until I found out how to do that I'll probably not post much about this, as it hurts my pride too much :D 

Just know that this new adventure of mine is taking up most of my time and head-space for now, and I almost spend another 100 euros on fibers and goodies, but then I decided I have to pace myself - can't go broke on sheep hair, can I? 

### *I need an art patron!*

But until the, I'm posting this under #creativecoin, who knows, it might just pay for some art supplies some day.
