Felt flowers

I'm experimenting with felt flowers this week.  Wet felted with wool and silk.  The first one I made (red one with white silk) seemed rather large, so I made a small one (purple).  I don't care for the pruple one.  It's different wool and too thick.  I also think it looks the least like a flower.  I like the pink and white one which I used pink silk roving and white Brown Sheep wool roving to make.  I'm using a resist with a hole cut in the center so the petals are attached at the center and don't require ant stitching together.  It works out quite nicely.  I'm not sure yet what these flowers will end up as.  Hat adornments, necklaces, brooches, purse adornments,............
