This is a new runner I made using various techniques to add interest.
The black portion is from a pair of black wool pants that I purchased at a thrift shop in Fort Worth, Texas.
I felted them by washing and drying them in a hot water wash, cold rinse and a hot dryer.
I then needle felted silk roving on the felted wool.
The printed pink silk is from a vintage sari that I purchased in Austin, Texas at a quaint shop.
The orange sections are orange dupioni silk that I needle felted for texture.
The purple and teal areas are silk fat quarters I had on hand.
I quilted it with channel quilting, meandering and outlined the prints.
Found buttons and beads were added for more embellishment.
You can truly make a piece of art for your wall or table with scraps of this and that.
And it was a lot of fun.
