Needle Felting, A Néw Adventure

Finally, something I have been wanting to do for ages. I bought a needle felting kit ( for a red fox) and started stabbing. My fox is nowhere near as charming as the models made by Jenny Barnett who made this kit but he does have a lot of character, in addition to a very large and bushy tail. Not too bad for a self taught first effort although I must admit the kit was wonderfully organized and without it I would never have dared take that first step . For more info please see www.jennymade.coriandr.com Of course, once I started I was hooked and this grey hare followed shortly afterwards. Father remarked that I looked rather like a witch working on a voodoo doll as I sat at the table jabbing away with my lethal looking needles.

Not sure what will be next but it won't be long coming.

Grouted and ready to make his society debut

Finally grouted over a long and hot weekend, the hare is sitting in the garden, enjoying the view.

Mosaics for the Wednesday Summer Class

Working on mosaics for the Wednesday Summer class.  I recently read that one can add mosaics to paper mache so decided to try, using a hare that I made last year.  The hare seemed to lack focus so I decided to add a touch of glamor to his otherwise rather mundane existence.
