I'm going to stitch it to a piece of charcoal coloured wool felt, add some hand dyed cheese cloth around it, and then do some hand stitch in the border area. 
If you guessed 'playing with Procion MX dyes', you'd be right. I'm thrilled with the wonderful range of colours I've now got to work with in my art quilts for the next while! I'm especially excited by how well the cheese cloth takes the dye, resulting in fabulously brilliant colours. I also made a bunch of skeins of cotton threads which I also included in the dyeing process, so I'll have all of these wonderful hand-dyed threads to use to embellish my work with hand stitch.
There are so many ideas running through my imagination for what to do with these and the indigo pieces I dyed earlier in the summer...I'm off to sew!
I had an opportunity last Spring to see some alpaca's being shorn and was given some of the alpaca hair to experiment with in my fibre art. Using my embellisher, I needle felted the fibre's to create a base using the darker grey hair. I then incorporated some of my hand dyed cheesecloth over top of the alpaca felt. I added some circles in a lighter colour of alpaca hair, and intentionally left some of the long dark strands hanging so that I could later add beads to them.
