“I am not teaching you anything.
I just help you to explore yourself”
-Bruce
Lee (and we agree!)
Our wish for you is that you is put on your best exploration
outfit,
and discover the wonders of you! And when it comes to your art,
forget all the rules --- you can do whatever your
heart desires!
We appreciate you. Thank you for sharing your inspired ideas with us all.
Sharen Johnson of Rutledge, TN felted these amazing Jack-O-Lanterns!
"I
have been listing my specialty pincushion/tape measure novelties on
www.sharryJo.etsy.com in the past
and they have been well received so I am excited to be back to felting
once again.
I am so grateful for Living Felt's quality products. They bring out
the creative gene in me.
Next is a stackable pumpkin pincushion and tape measure. I needle felted
them out of the same great Merino
core wool
and topped them with dyed
Merino top wool. Meet Meanie, Miney and Mo.
Meanie is on the bottom and is perplexed with the heavy weights above.
Miney is holding up well and a little better natured,
but Mo is oblivious to all below and enjoying the view from the heights.
They are a pin cushion also and entirely
out of Living Felt Merino wool. The tape is hidden under the leaves
on Miney and is retracted by squeezing his sides.
He really enjoys that as he considers it a hug.
I
am limited to dial-up internet so I cannot enjoy the video workshops
to give me ideas for other felting. I have mainly just gotten an idea
in my head and grab my 3 types of needles and poke away until my idea
becomes a reality.
What a fun way to vent anxieties! These 3 projects were mainly done
with the #36
Triangle needle,
starting with the #38
Star on the core wool.
I didn't add armature in any of these 3. They really didn't need it
and can stand alone on the felt base.
I make sure the core wool is felted pretty solidly. I sometimes add
marbles for stability embedded in the base.
Thanks for looking at my latest efforts,
Sharen Johnson"
As
always, we wish you happy felting, and let us know if you have any questions
or need any support by emailing us at customer
