Having done minimal amounts of fiberart this year, I figured it was good to start up small with needle-felted ornaments. Here's my 2015 Penguin.

My son's friend wanted a mini version of their new puppy Coal so that he could partake in their upcoming wedding festivities.<br />
<br />
Working from a photo, I created my needled version of Coal. Since he's a puppy, I exaggerated both his paws and his nose... He's approximately 4" tall and 6" long.<br />

"Wool Soapies" are like having your soap and wash cloth all in one.<br />
<br />
Isabelle Soap is a handcrafted all natural soap containing coconut, olive, or soy oils. The soaps are scented with pure essential oils and herbs and flowers.<br />
<br />
The scrubby is wet felted with 100% wool fibers.<br />

It sat on the shelf in its dry "non-wetted" down state for over a year. Finally had a chance to felt the pod and voila, I love my spikey new pod.<br />

<br />I recently received this Australian magazine "Felt" and was inspired by Moy Mackay's "Poppy Glen Project". Here's my 14" x 17" wet felting which I plan to enhance with dimensional felted poppies and bead work. Great magazine, full of fabulous articles, and features one of my favorite felt artists, <a href="http://www.andrea-graham.com/">Andrea Graham</a>!Laura Chu Burkehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04904463981213391543noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279469668833233222.post-18388796724204210882013-06-04T11:01:00.000-04:002013-11-21T13:17:41.582-05:00Koi PondI finally got to work on a wet felting project today.

Here's the start of the Koi Pond - two layers of white wool (colors are totally off - I guess 5am is too early in the day for me to snap pics...<br />

This flower is made of 60 sheets of 3" origami paper in 12 colors. Lots of folding and attachment of petals created this fun dimensional flower... Also in progress is an 8.5" square card stock paper flower. 30 sheets are complete - card stock is extremely hard to fold so I may not finish the other half...<br />
