I made these a while back while learning to needle felt
For this one I was playing with wet felting and needle felting
Then some needle felted figures with the Felt Alive tutorials
It was alot of fun :) I ended up making about 6 of the finger puppet fairies, which I gave to the kids to play with.
Like all new crafts, as I get to making them I find out if it is something I love, or just like. Sadly, needle felting and wet felting for me falls into the 'just like' category. I have the skill now, tucked away in my How To mental file...so if the occasion should arise where we Need something felted, I can do it.
There are sooo many things to learn and create, so many materials, and things to make with them. I find I have to pick and choose! I would Love to be able to do everything, and I can see so many cute images in my mind of things I would love to felt...but not very many functional things.
I have learned over the years that I much prefer creating functional art, it sits better with who I am.
So, this will be my first and most likely last needle felting post ;)
However, Nyai is learning and will hopefully add some #needleworkmonday posts as well. He has an amazing imagination, and I cannot wait to see what he creates!!
