flying felt

In my free time lately (when I have any),  I've been fooling around with needling felting, yet again.  I love using roving as a medium, it's fairly manageable as a sculpture tool, and oh so gratifying (if you work in a small scale, like me)!

I made one of these little birdies (using wire for the legs, and neutral colored roving), and I decided that I needed an entire family of sweet little birdies.  They have each taken on their own personalities depending on their size and shape, such fun!  Any ideas of other sweet animals I should add to my felted friends?

its always better down where its wetter...take it from me.

Well, like Sebastian (the singing lobster from The Little Mermaid) says, "its always better down where its wetter, take it from me! Under the sea!"  Unfortunately these little guys wont be getting wet anytime soon (if they do they may shrink, they are made of wool) 

 I put together this fun 3-d needle felting project recently.  I got the needle felting kit from Fancy Tiger, one of my favorite stores in Denver.  The project said it would yield two jellyfish, but I decided to make 3 different sized ones and stick them on a painted plaque with painted twigs, I think it gives them a little atmosphere.  And it kind of feels like they are like a trophy deer head, but way less sad!  Any ideas for other animals or creatures to needle felt?  I'm loving how satisfyingly quick this project was, and pretty cute to boot!
