Felting soap

I just received two packages of roving that I purchased from Maine Woods Yarn & Fiber on etsy. They are absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to see how they look on soap. I am going to try out felting some of my soap tomorrow. I will let you know how it turns out. I will be following the instruction that are posted at Mielke's Fiber Arts they have a great tutorial with lots of photos. have any of you tried out felting soap? If so how do you like it?

    I've felted some....but I'm really no good at it! I don't have a 'felting board' and it gets REALLY slippery in your hands making it hard to get the felt to stick together and cover all the soap with no bare spots. I can't wait to see how your turn out! The first roving reminds me of camo!

    I felted a bar today using the yellow roving. I don't think I got the ends fully integrated with each other, but I think it was probably due to using too much roving. I also do not have a felting/wash board. I really can not believe how sudsy the felting made the soap. I can't wait to give it a try in the shower! I had Dylan take some photos for me so they will be uploaded either tonight or tomorrow.
