Free-hand felting.........

I've taken a little time, this weekend, to work on some free-hand felting. I've always liked to paint and thought I'd try my hand at "felt painting". I purchased a new felting book, recently entitled "Indygo Junction's Needle Felting". It's a wonderful book and has patterns in it for different things like flowers, leaves, etc .
I decided to just do it! I love to pick out colors of wool roving; mix them together and just "paint" directly on the surface I've chosen. In this case, it is a green-felted purse. The green in the purse is a little hard to catch with this picture, but it's a fern green but on light side.
This is still a work in progress but thought I'd share what I have so far. I intend to add a small butterfly and then I will do the back in a more simpler way and add some leaves and stems to the purse strap.
Have a safe and happy Memorial Weekend everyone!
