I pulled out my wool roving and got inspired to make some critters. They are so gratifying and fun. Some of my favorite books are Wool Pets and Wool Toys and Friends written by Laurie Sharp, as well as Little Felted Animals by Marie-Noelle Horvath.
I am also busy at work on some little matryoshka dolls for birthdays party favors and a fun handmade swap that I am participating in. I am combining needle felting and wet felting to make them really well felted and durable. Here's a little sneak preview...
Here is the first stage, then all the little details...
Happy Crafting!

Here I am again - because Linda has the image of the sheep in her left hand column and I saw it again, and I loved it again, and now I'm telling you again.
