Felted crafties.
The woman at Sticky Wicket Crafts sent me an email that said needle felting was addictive. Well, yes it is. I had to hide the supplies in a closet down the hall from our apartment in order to be able to carry on with my studies. But here's a bit about the fun and dangerous, stabby process:
This is early on in the stabbing process and the wool is starting to stick to itself and flatten out. That tool is scary and hurts if you accidentally stab your fingers.
It's a little more convincing now, isn't it? It looks like felt.
It was hard to figure out any way to decorate the felt other than dots. But with time, I think more things could be made. The wispy wool roving in the lower left corner is how it all started out.
I did manage to felt a heart onto the front of this wallet-type thing, which is good for my dorky self.
Don't start felting! You won't be able to stop and you'll be sorry...
