Neatest hands to date ☺️

I always put off doing hands and faces, I always think they are going to be a disaster and never look the way I want them too. Well today after making 32 fingers (some blooded ones, my poor fingers) I managed to choose 10 that I decided were the right size for what I wanted.
The results? I'm happy and think these are the neatest hands I have done to date. 












I'm such a wimp!

Making it up as I go along and constantly putting off felting the hands and face.
I'm such a wimp!

Ch ch ch changes and embrace the strange.

Needle felting never ceases to amaze me. You start off with an idea in your head and as you stab the idea changes constantly.
Now even with my ventures into wet felting my ideas have changed. What started out as a cloak is now being made into a dress. 
I got so carried away I forgot she was still flat chested! 
So today, I made boobies.

Easter Eggs???????

Yesterday I had the pleasure of teaching a group of ladies to needle felt. I thought since Easter was looming that I would show them how to make Easter Eggs.


 They had other ideas. We ended up making chicks, minions, bunnies, cats, owls as well as eggs.


These ladies had such fun they were crying with laughter.


Great fun was had by all. I hope they ask me back soon.

Details details

My most favourite part of any piece I make has got to be adding the details. With the mistakes and rescues I have made with this cloak I have to say have been worth it. I still have more to do but it's coming along nicely.
I think the nebbs actually look better being a bit more random and mixed in the other fibres.
What do you think?
