"Blossom" and Fantasy".........



I've been working on some needle felting the past couple of days. These are pictures of clutch purses I felted. The purses are approx. 8 1/2" long x 6 1/2" wide.
Needle felting is a very relaxing activity to me. Well; just as long as I am using a foam block on my lap while felting - LOL! I've been known to pierce my thigh a couple of times :) Ouch!
I tried knitting and crocheting but just couldn't seem to concentrate on all of the counting and figuring. I love and admire knitted and crocheted pieces so much. The needle felting is a fit, for me, as I feel I'm actually "painting" with the needle and roving. I don't have to stop and count rows, etc. and it's a bit more forgiving for me. AND; the roving comes in so many beautiful textures and colors!
Thank you, again, for visiting. I am wishing you all a safe, artful and wonderful Memorial Weekend ahead. Much love - Marilyn xxoo
