Leather-look felt

Make Art Monday!
A few weeks ago, I showed you a necklace that I made:
A Stitch in Time
The background fabric for this bead-embroidered piece is actually felt. When you see it close up, it looks for all the world like rough leather (moreso in real life than in my picture!). Although I’m not philosophically opposed to using leather, I know many people are, and it’s nice to have alternatives. It’s also a lot easier to stitch through than leather!
Tomorrow for Technique Tuesday, I’ll explain how to make this faux leather.
Looking forward to it. Hmmm, can it be a book cover? Lol.
You betcha!
Beautiful necklace!
Thank you, Peggy!
