A Friendly Monster

This little Monster was originally going to be a bear..but decided that with her perfectly rectangle body, a little round head on top would be weird...soooooo a monster was born!!
She is completely needle felted. Her eye is a bead.
Her arms and legs move and she can sit and stand. She loves art and can often be seen swimming with the crayons. She is also a fan of glue..but glue and felt is a pretty dangerous situation!
I told Keely since this Monster was just practice she could have her. So Keely named her Princess Buttercup. Henry is going to draw me a monster to needle felt so that will be my next project!!

Puffer Fish!!!

I made this puffer fish with a kit I got from here: The Licorice Tree!
It was a gift from my sister. I was surprised at how easy it was to put together. He actually is a pretty awesome pin cushion I must say. I named him Paco.
Needle felting is fun and easy. You may get poked by a needle a few times but the final product is worth it!!

Felty Heart

I attached this little heart to a Thank you note!
It is made by needle felting...I added the stitches after I was done felting.

More Needle Felt Fun!

I still have not decided what the heck I am actually going to do with these felted creations but I loooove making them. So far I have made them into pins, but am definitely wondering if anyone would dare to actually pin them on something.
This latest creation is a flower, although it kind of looks like a monster eyeball.

Needle Felting

I just tried needle felting for the first time today!
It is so fun and really easy!! I thought this turned out pretty well for a beginner.
I found a wonderful how-to at this site. This site shows how to create using cookie cutters.
It worked really well. I thought it was the perfect way to form a decent shape.
I made a pin out of this one, but will add these little do-dads to cards and such in the future.
