Embellisher felting and hand stitch. Two layers of fine
wool mix felt meshed together by using the embellisher on the purple side only,
in the dune pattern.

From this article in the Saturday Guardian 04/07/15:“Dune, 50 years on: how a science fiction novel changed the world. It has sold millions of copies, is perhaps the greatest novel in the science-fiction canon and Star Wars wouldn’t have existed without it. Frank Herbert’s Dune should endure as a politically relevant fantasy from the Age of Aquarius.”

Love that tangerine and purple – reminds me of my teenage
bedroom! Needle felting (using the embellisher) seemed the best match for the
soft dune pattern, but I wasn’t sure if it would be enough… it wasn’t. Running
stitch didn’t work on the thick felt, so I tried stem stitch – and really
enjoyed it! The slowness didn’t help my post-holiday catch up, but I think it
was worth it.

Ha, my teenage bedroom was a pale lilac with big purple flowered curtains. Do like the effect you have here.
