Felt So Good.....

I did it! I finally got my hands on some roving and learned some felting. My dear friend Melissa (check out her awesome Etsy shop, http://www.themodcottage.etsy.com/) taught me how to wet felt. I love the smell of the roving and the texture of the wet felt. I also bought a great book detailing how to needle felt which is more sculptural than wet felting. I look forward to learning that technique as well. Anyway, here are a few of the pics from our felting....

A few of the supplies you'll need if you want to give it a try are roving, soapy water, and lots of hand strength! The solid white material was felted by yours truly. But check out the cool plaid design Melissa produced. Awesome...

These are actual small stones we picked up at the local beach and felted the roving around the stone. Cool, huh?

Pixies are fond of felted Cairns.... or so I'm told. :)
