'Love Wins' Table Runner- Part 3

Once the project is dry...


                                          ...each short end is carefully trimmed...

                                         ...leaving an overlapping bit of silk gauze.



                                             The long ends are also trimmed...



                                                  ...to form a neat rectangle.



                                The runner is placed on a length of solar pool cover...



                       ...and the silk gauze is folded to the back on each short end.



                                                     The project is wetted out...



                                                      ...and felting begins anew.



                                                       Mid-way through felting...



                                        ...the inclusions are beginning to crinkle...



                                              ...and become delightfully textural.



                                                  The front of the finished piece...



                                                           ...and the back.



                                                                Close-ups...



                          ...of the pre-felt pieces, crinkly silk gauze and inclusions.



                                             This runner was created as a gift...



                                   ...for the wedding of a wonderful friend of mine...



                                                    ...and his long-term partner.



                                                  Congratulations, you two...



                                         ...here's wishing you a lifetime of love...

                                                           ...and great joy!
