Feltin' Fridays

I made some of these animals last spring but then sort of lost interest:(    Since then I have sold several elephants and squirrels so I got back into making them and added the raccoon and skunk that I hadn't made before the 'lost interest' event:)  Then it just flowed into why not add acorns and trees and that is how I ended up in the backyard playing with them on a rock (it helped that it was sunny and warm).

A friendly little forest gathering.

I added these to my Etsy shop after I finished playing with them.

WATCH OUT! A giant Owl.

Normally I don't think black bears worry about owls being dangerous but this guy is very large.

                     Happy Felting:)

Playing with Blocks

So my latest little felting adventure now includes children's blocks. I don't know why but I just had this urge to do something with little wooden blocks so I ran into Goodwill and actually found a bag of blocks for $1.99. So here is  Sailor Ducky and  Teddy Bear wearing a red bow tie. Painting the blocks was the hardest. I didn't want them to look perfectly painted but it was hard to get the right shabby look. My first blocks have many coats of paint but hopefully it will be easier now that I know what doesn't work.

I will post pictures of little Elephant and Bunny later.
