I saw it misspelled once and it's been neddle felting in my head ever since. Needle felting is cool, sculpting wool with a barbed needle, poke poke poke and it's a 3-d bird...
Some of the birds have big snoots like Senior Purple above...
Quite a few are purple or blue because that's the best felting wool I have, nice short kinky fibers. Only one is red..I'd love to make more red ones but that is good spinning fiber, all long and smooth and really crappy for neddle felting.
...or 10. I was making flat stuff with beads, inspired by Jo Woods' work when a wee bird flew in to my head. I'll sell them at the Christmas crafts show that's just after Thanksgiving...and if my fingers aren't too sore from getting jabbed, at the next one too.Halloween, fall back, November and first snow all happened...what a day!
