Needle Felting Class

Class set up

Every once in a while I like to create small critters using the needle felting technique. Once in a while our local library offers the needle felting class. The regular instructor couldn't make it and I was asked if I could teach the class.

I think the people who came enjoyed it, and in less than two hours they created needle felted pumpkin and few acorns.

Just a bit of nonsense

Kevin and Slug

Once again I took the needle felting class in our local library. I love to create something random and funny, poking the needle into the wool rowing and creating whatever I feel like at the moment.

Kevin, the alien is one of those random creations. I was experimenting with the shape and colors combinations, and he seems to be a friendly looking alien.

Slug was inspired by the creation my child made using play dough and clay. It most likely originated when we watched the movie "Flushed Away" and the singing slugs featured in the movie.  Even months after we saw the movie I still have at least a dozen slugs made of play dough and clay displayed all over the house. Whenever I discover one of those slugs I have to smile. And I am  thankful for the opportunity to have an excuse to get creative myself and do something random and funny out of fiber instead of another scarf, hat, socks, sweater, or mittens.

On another bright side, I have finally finished posting the entire children book "Monster Al" on my blog. Please check it out. Next step is to write up the knitting patterns.

Thank you for visiting.

Earth.....

....is a wonderful place to live.

I love every day when I can open my eyes in the morning. That simple act assures me that I am still alive, and  have another day to enjoy the beauty of this planet.

I hope that our future generations will have the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of our planet also. And  perhaps they will learn how to live in peace with each other.

Peace to all.

Needle Felting

Our local library offered needle felting class.
I have never tried this before and I was curious.
At first I wasn't sure about the whole process, but I experimented.

I did not like the occasional accidents when the needle went to my flash, instead of the wool.
But overall experience was interesting enough to return to the next class.

I must admit that I still prefer the knitting needles more than the felting needles, but every once in a while (whenever the class is available at the library) I go and make a little toy.

Who knows, some of these might be a future knitted toys as well. The inspiration for my critters comes from all sorts of places.

Thank you for visiting.
