Felting!

My friend, Glenna from http://www.vintageembellishment.etsy.com/ got me interested in felted beads. I have so much roving, I decided to give it a try. After several failed attempts, I finally got the hang of it! Some are better than others, but that's okay, I'm not using these for beads but wanted to fill some felted bowls I have.I got to thinking, it's going to take thousands of these to fill my bowls! Solution? Make bigger balls!What I'm finding out is, not all roving is created equal. I absolutely love how the alpaca worked up! Buffalo roving doesn't cut it for these larger ones. Wool yarn can be used and I can't stop making them now! Thanks Glenna! LOL!The two felted bowls and the flowers are made by Valerie at http://www.valeriesgallery.etsy.com/. She does amazing work! Stop by her shop and check out what she can do with yarn! There's still one more item I must have in her shop, so make sure you check with me before you purchase. LOL!This is my favorite, the balls match the bowl so nicely and this is the alpaca I was talking about, just love these balls!Here's another bowl, my loopy bowl made by Jennie at http://www.sosorosey.etsy.com/. Another amazing artist! What she can do with fabrics is not to be believed!

Just what I need, another project! But these sure are fun to make!

Featured Seller con't.



Jennie's work is so amazing, it deserves more exposure! People seem to enjoy her work as much as I do! So, I've decided to add just a few more of my favorite items. Pictured above is a custom made set of coasters with edges Jennie made for me so I can use them to take photos of my beads!

Isn't this just amazing? Even the photograph is awesome!
Another favorite is the Christmas ornaments:
