This is my newest nuno felted vest which I'm calling "Winds and Dragons" in honor of mah jongg, another one of my passions. I learned mah jongg from my mother who played the game once a week from her mid 20's to almost until she passed away at 85. My Aunt Bernice is still playing at 90. Looks like I'm on the same path and I love it. Mah jongg keeps your mind active and is an amazing game of skill with some luck certainly thrown in too.
This vest has two vintage mah jongg tiles used as buttons and closed with felted cords. The maj tile in the photo to the left is a One Bam and the tile in the photo above is a Red Dragon.
Shibori balls embellish both the front and back of the vest.
Work in Progress
The collar is made from an beautiful silk/metal fabric and looks amazing.
Of course this vest is reversible and can also be worn upside down as a shrug/shawl.
