Since my skill is in clothing construction I decided to do some wool felting and in some fashion, manipulate it into coat. A coat makes a pretty good backdrop for surface designing and I love art to wear.
I started by felting or fulling 100% wool tweed. When that was prepared I cut the 2 shades into 1/2" strips then pinned them to a board and wove the strips into a herringbone design.
For the back of the coat I cut the woven piece - a really BIG piece - on the bias. The extra pieces were used for cuffs and an accent piece on the front. I used lots of piping. Gotta love piping!
I'll type more later...
