Since we're getting all felty with it....Check out my Felty Fiesta necklace using Ornamentea's felt loops in the October issue of Simply Beads magazine! The loops are fun to stitch on.
This would also look pretty cool in bracelet form. Next time, I'm going to try needle felting some polka dots and stripes around the sides of the loops and then stitch beads on top.
I can't decide if these should be beads or refrigerator magnets. 2 cents welcome. One thing's for sure, I was happy with how summery they came out. Sometimes I think wool material suggests warm and wintery, but these tutti-fruity bobbles proved me wrong!
Fairly fast to make also. There are needle felted bead projects in my book or the new Designer Needle Felting book from Lark (which comes out Oct. 1st.) For materials, all you really need are felt balls, a felting needle, a bit of wool, and some embroidery floss. Simply, poke the wool down in carefully with a felting needle and then embellish with embroidery floss. Now go on with your bad selves and get felty!
I came across this photo tonight. I'd forgotten all about these little cuties! I made them with felt balls and beads. Super easy! There are so many great beads in the shape of heads on the market right now too. Check here for felt balls, here for some perfect head beads and here for some lovely things that could perch upon a felt ball.
Staying up late tonight to get some work done. Do you love Waylon Jennings's voice as much as I do?
A few minutes ago I was starving and we have NO food in the apartment. Notta, Zip, Zilcho! I'm not exaggerating-I ate the last two pieces of bread for lunch. As I was surfing the baron fridge, I spied the brownies my pal, Krissy, hooked me up with earlier this afternoon. TG...and Krissy! I loved the wrapping so much I had to take a picture of it. Little foil squares so they didn't stick together. We love that kind of clever-ness around here. So yummy, I could barely press the shutter button fast enough with the right hand because the left was reaching for another bite!
Did I ever tell you I have Rhapsody-the music station that lets you access a kazillion cd's and such. It's a lifesaver for me. When's the last time you listened to Prince's Kiss, Extended Version?
