Experiments in Needle Felting

I have been working on a Christmas present for a very special little girl.  It is a collection of Waldorf inspired felt fruits and vegetables for playtime.  Below are pictures of my early forays into needle felting.  Although needle felting is still a common felting technique, I still find myself most compelled to do wet felting as I usually do.  Nevertheless, I am pleased with these results.

Putting the "functional" back into felt

For much of my "felting life" I have used wet felting techniques as an artistic medium in the creation of felt 'paintings'.  Recently though, I have been working more functional pieces that I hope are every bit as appealing as those two dimensional works.  To my delight, I have found a new function for my bowls - yarn bowls - at the suggestion of my co-worker.  I am super excited at this newest use for my work.

Fall Creations
