"We are each gifted in a unique and important way.
It is our privilege and our adventure to discover our own special light."
~Mary Dunbar

You know that thing that you do that really lights you up?
You know, the one that you plan time for and think about
and have so much fun doing? Yes... the one that makes you forget
about laundry and cleaning and eating and your "to do" list?
THAT is what you should be doing, more and more and more.

Kristy Callahan felted this beautiful still life that she likens to “painting with fiber.”
The piece is 22”X16” with a wet felted base.

Things that would make great Felted Pictures!

affordable Wet Felting Project Batt

Or for smaller pictures, use the MC-1 Batting
This is good for Wet felting or needle felting.

Select fibers and colors -- great options for wet felting
are merino tops in solids or multi-colored blends, merino-silk blends, and MC-1 Batts

Wet felting tools: olive oil soap, bamboo mat, and mesh!

For a purely Needle Felted Picture,
start with some Core Wool

Choose a felting foam work surface

Get some felting needles and consider a multi-needle felting tool
