felt rug of the bungle bungles

I started going to art class in derby to get a bit of an art fix.  turns out it's a pretty amazing class.  i did some print work that you can see in a previous post. the next time we started making felt paintings essentially. you take some wool batting and then put tufts of colored wool in any pattern you wish and then you process it...soak it in boiling water, rub it with a soapy plastic bag, rinse, wash, throw it around, stomp on it, etc. and voila you have a rug!  i chose the bungle bungles for mine and i think it came out pretty well for a first go.  top pic is when i was first designing. bottom pic is after processing.  very fun. all works are copyrighted and cannot be reproduced, sold, distributed without permission.
