Feeling Felty

Hi there,
I haven't written for a while, probably because I haven't had any crafty news to share... until now!

My first introduction to needle felting was a few years ago, in a workshop for making a witch -


Needle felting

Needle felting is the process of using a special shaped needle to make felt out of wool. As you can see, some parts of my witch are more tightly processed than others.
Anyway, this is the only project I made using those materials and tools, up until this week.

Last Thursday, I participated in a workshop by shukpuck - we made a felted bunny!
I took some photos during the process, so you could appreciate the work better :)

This is how it all started, white wool -

Using our fingers and the needle, we created those shapes, you can also see the needle back there -



Attaching the head made a huge difference, and on the back you can see a nice lady working on her bunny -  


So, without further ado, meet my new bunny and my second felted creation ever -

That was a very fun creative evening!
Noa
