In quilting trapunto needs the batting put between the fabric layers in
order to bet the most pouf. The excess back fabric is then trimmed away
so that it is only under the part you want lifted. If you are making a
quilt, a full backing is then put on and quilted the udual way.
Otherwise there is nothing to keep the stuffing from pushing out the
back way too. Since felt is thicker and stiffer it resists the puffing.
Your canvas backing helped but it is covering the whole back. If you
could stitch the puffed part outline to the canvas you would get more
sculpture. Or, if the sculpture part was thinner, maybe felted and
matching wool roving under it and then background felted more.
I hesitate to suggest anything...you are so talented and will doubtless
figure out what works for you.
The picture is lovely. And thank you so much for sharing with us.
