Needle Felting
|
|
On Halloween 2004, Edie gave Dan a Needle Felting kit she picked up at a craft show. It contained 1 needle, a piece of foam,
some red, black, and blue wool, and a Band-Aid!
I'm happy to say, I still have the Band-Aid and a whole bunch of things we've made. Here are just a few.
Hint: When you find a color you like, BUY IT ALL!! I have a secret stash of Christmas red and pull apart some three-way
swirl that has the perfect flesh tones for making faces and skin. I also have some for darker complexions that I hide as well!!

Here are her comments:
"Hi Dan
Thank you for all that undeserved praise. I started with the gnome kit that "Black Sheep Design" sells and
just elaborated on it with all the wonderful wool that you have sent me...I'll keep poking and send more pictures after the
first of the year...
Sue"
