    (Continued from page 1)

    12. Using the lima bean green wool, add a stem to the cluster by pulling off a tuft, twisting it and needling it into place. Make tendrils in the same fashion.

    13. Repeat the above instructions to make a second cluster, placing it where you desire.

    14. Now add the leaves you held in reserve where you would like them.

    15. Add detail to the leaves by needling very thin wisps of lima bean green to make leaf veins.

    16. Add detail to the grapes by applying eggplant wool to a few (this will make some look riper than others).

    17. Add detail to the vines by adding short, very thin pieces of black wool in lines running the direction of the grain of the vine.

    18. Needle very thin strips of lima bean green wool in the shapes of tendrils onto the background in the corners of the picture.

    19. Make sure everything is needled on securely and very gently peel the picture off the foam.

    20. Paint the dowel black and let it dry.

    21. Tuck under the top 1-1/2" of the picture to the back. Place the dowel inside the crease along the top edge. Using the felting needle, needle-felt the front and back of this fold together to form a pocket the dowel rests in.

    22. Cut a piece of floral wire and wrap around each end of the dowel to make a hanger.
