~ That Felt Good ~

Oh my...

well, 

at least I'm putting my 'recovery' time to good use ~ 

For my readers here that aren't on Facebook or Instagram,

this is what I've been doing:

~ Needlefelting ~

{{ ok, I'm needlefelting + applique with a sprinkling of embroidery }}

 a few years ago, I spun some of our Finn ewe 'Esther''s fleece {aka Mommy}

she has a beautiful loose staple that is great for spinning.

but, I am not a great spinner!

as you can see below, my skeins are a mess ~

too tight, too loose, knots, slubs and pieces of hay

all make up a hank of my 'yarn'...

lol

but it's pretty 

and I never thought I would be able to do anything with it.

Until Now.

 

it is perfect for creating my 2-dimensional {2D} sheep!

each wonky curl and loop of the yarn 

just seems to add more of a realist effect to my needle felted sheep's coat...

~ don't you agree?

 

especially this little guy,

 below...

I'm embellishing with applique, embroidery and each lamb or sheep 

has hand blown German glass eyes.

they aren't perfect, but I am improving each time.

the most important part of this is enjoying the creative & learning process as I continue.

 

I hope you all have a wonderfully creative October Day ~

full of inspiration, peace & kindness.

Blessings from the Farm
