A Little Bit of Felting


I haven't been up to much lately.  Got myself a nasty cold-but it's finally winding down.  Last weekend when I was feeling particularly lousy, but itchin" to be creative, I decided to felt a bunch of little bitty balls to make into earrings.  I had only 8 hour workdays this week, for a change, and had the ambition to punch out and hammer some little copper domes for the earrings.  I'm thinkin' they turned out awfully cute.

    Those would also make a lovely Christmas tree garland :-) I love to put knitted stuff on my tree.

    Those are adorable! I am awful at making felted balls. They require a bit too much patience for me ;-) I love them as little earrings.

    These are great! I love the picture of all the little colored felty balls. Almost like candy.

    These earrings are really fun! Gorgeous colors. I love the bead caps that you created, the metal adds a nice contrast to the wool beads.

    Do you know what else they'd be lovely for? Stitch markers :)
