01/17/2007: "holiday gifties"
finally getting a chance to post a few pictures of some holiday gifts for some of my lucky family and friends (at least i think they're lucky).
first, a needle felted table runner for my mom. i bought the grey-green fabric and then added the birds on top with needlefelting. it is about 60 by 18 inches. this was a demonstration project and i am just thrilled with how it came out. it was my first attempt at needle felting something flat and i think it has become my favorite needle felting technique. you can also do 3-d sculptural kinds of things but this is more like painting with fiber. i did another needle felting demonstration last saturday and made myself a cute sweater. pictures of that to follow.
next is a set of "magnetic stories" for my friend ben. i made 1 inch buttons and put magnets on the back. he has nouns, verbs, and adjectives to make up his own stories like "Winnie ate smelly soap" or "Ben built a log house". They were huge fun to illustrate!
