FAF: Needle Felt Ornaments

It’s been a busy work week and with the weather now above freezing I’ve actually worked my horses 3 nights this week despite the rain.  What I’m trying to say is, I’ve been fiber lazy.

So I dug through my tubs and photo albums and searched for something I could at least write about. What I found were old photos of some needle felt farm animals I made for everyone at our Thanksgiving dinner a few years ago. 

At the time I had just learned how to needle felt and what better way to practice a skill than making cute little giveaways to family and friends?  I ended up making 22 of them in all.

I’m not sure what happened to the “alpaca.” It ended up looking like a bizarre cross between a llama and a giraffe.  The Pig was my most favorite character. I made oinking noises almost the whole time I felted him LOL

My felting skills eventually got a bit better and I attempted some birds like this chickadee.  I should really get back into doing some needle felting. It is a whole lot of fun.
