Almost went cross eyed with all these inlays! The cross is a piece of silk velvet felted in - shame it ended up off centre in the circle... think I was concentrating too much on keeping the boat inlays in place (its made up of 7 pieces). The boat & fish have gone into the felt a littl too much in places, think I really should of wet the fibre before adding the inlays, they might of kept crisper edges then. Still like it though - hope my mum-in-law does :) I think my favourite bit is the embroidered fishing net - which you cant really see in the photos..
So far this week I've tinkered with a summery nuno beach wrap/shawl. I need a dressform to display it properly... here it is jumbled up with the head-kerchief I felted last week - I LOVE all these pretty summery colours :)

I've felted a pretty big lattice wrap too, which I'm planning to sew some felt flowers onto.. And I felted a hip bag today in hot colours with loads of sari silk fibre & ribbon... just need to find a zip & embroidery silk that go now to finish it off.
More soon
