Instagram

I've always scoured the internet looking for inspiration for needle felting projects, usually pinterst.

But recently I joined Instagram, I love the fact that like Pinterest, it's so visual.

I came across a lovely instrammer called joyful gnomes.

They had some wonderful gnomes and one inparticular caught my eye.

I thought she would be lovely to felt, so I asked joyful gnomes if they minded if I felted her, they said they would be honoured.

A few weeks later I finished her. 

I posted her on instagram and joyful gnomes was so delighted they posted this picture.

I'm looking for more inspiration now! 

I think I have found it.

I have been needle felting for four years now. I have dabbled in all kinds of different ideas from christmas decorations, rabbits, frogs, dogs and characters. And although I have been happy with what I have made I have always had that niggle inside me that 'it could be better' or 'it wasn't just what I had in mind' not that half of my creations turn out like I expect them to, they just morph and I like it that way but something always niggled.

I always knew whatever I would end up making would be something fantasy, mythical or character based, thats what I'm drawn too but I needed to find 'it' you know that one thing that I can create, but replicate in different ways. 

Well last week I found it. Something clicked. I've done it. I feel like this is it. 

I have found my path and can see a way forward. 

Here is my first of what will be many.

Meet Erci

I just love him. Do you?
