I started this over a year ago as a present for my sister. Originally I had been inspired to make something more complex (and completely different), but I decided to use velvet without thinking about how limited my free handing skills are 
The moon is made from felted mountain goat wool I collected on a hike. I started by felting the wool and then added the embroidery. I’m pleased with the way it turned out and my sister likes it which is the most important thing.
Such a cool use for wool you collected on a hike! I love it!
Very cool! I didn’t even know you could do felting on velvet. Nicely done!
Such a great combinations of textures!
Very different. And I mean that in a good way.
this. is. FABULOUS.
You felted found mountain goat wool onto velvet??? Wild stuff, for sure!!
Thank you for the lovely comments!
It’s funny, I didn’t really think about the felting not working with velvet. I had the fabric on the hoop and needle felted it that way. Maybe the tension helped it not turn into a disaster?
The velvet makes this look so lush and like a perfect night sky. It’s lovely.
