Still Felting

I have been having fun making little ornaments and things... Mainly doing a little of everything but adding some felting somewhere in the project. It really is fun, but must watch all the time so you do not stab yourself with those sharp needles. I have a thick piece of foam, needles, and roving, it is amazing how things take shape. Here is a few things

FELTED DOG

This was so much fun, I went to a Fiber sale and picked up a little kit to make FIDO, it is really relaxing to do.

Snow Clouds

I love children's art and I've having fun making this polar bear.

Out and About Paperdoll

I found this great piece of wood from an old end table, all perfectly aged and crackled. I was very inspired about some paperdoll blogs I visited. So I downloaded a freebie doll shape and took it from there. I added lace and material form my stash, along with other objects,,lots of fun.

Vintage Pincushions

I took a class Saturday on making pincushions, it was great! We had 3 to make, and I got through almost 2 so I will show pics. when done, I especially like the wool felt ones, I love that look.

A Butterfly

A little picture of a butterfly and a tree, I used the transfer method for the butterfly. I like the old fashion method of taping the picture and putting it water, waiting about 5 mins. or so until the backing can be rubbed off gently.

Thankful

Okay, I need to get away from the computer and get ready for a doc's appt. (sigh) ... this is more fun hopping around on the computer finding great blogs, looking at art ideas, oh well!!! Having a chronic illness is what it is, hard to put it on a shelf for very long, before some little or big thing rears it's head. I have been so lucky having Scleroderma for 30 years or so, some years, many years were pretty good! I am thankful for being here and survived where many haven't for many reasons. So with Spring inspiration and warmer weather it is easier to enjoy the outside, which I love!! I am going to take my camera and take a pic of something today and use it in my art. I have time for 1 more cup of coffee and off to the races.

This project was inspired by the words of Eleanor Roosevelt:



Do one thing every day that scares you.

I have always loved the 3 Stooges, the best watching them with my brother growing up. Many girls or women hated them, was I the strange one?? lol A pic to enjoy...

Inchies

I made 8 inchies for a swap it is fun and challenging to work with a small piece, had fun as always. I really am enjoying the chipboard, it is easy and I like the look.

MY COLLAGE

The altered doll was fun to make, I followed Arlene's directions and then added my embellishments and color. I used a playing card, painted one side, and the challenge is finding the image and adding legs. Also, watching how it fits with on the card.

Love to Doodle

I have always loved to Doodle... on the phone, sitting at the kitchen table as a kid talking to my Mother. I think they are mini journals or logs. I would record so many things that were going on without even realizing it. I should of kept those slips of paper and made a collage. That would of been interesting! Doodle away....

This is from the week challenge from Paper Imagery, just used several paints over text, I wanted the text to show, but it didn't work but liked the colors. The text is a quote from Alfred Hitchcock.

Finally felt better and had a snowy day so I played a little with the great gifts I got from friends. Always fun to get surprises in the mail , thanks to you!
