More Needle-felting

Several years ago I attended a quilt expo in Madison, Wisconsin and I stumbled across a booth with needle-felting supplies...I was intrigued.  After a quick lesson and a few dollars in materials I had another new hobby.

 There is something very relaxing about needle-felting colorful balls.  I use them for garlands, beads or just to to look pretty in a jar.

 This picture has kind of a nautical feel to it.  I embellished the needle-felted orbs (urchins) with glass beads, sequence, and floss, and added charming polymer beads made by my good friend Ellen. 

Here it is displayed in my house in Maine.  The shelf it is sitting in is an

oak drawer from a dresser I found along side of the road.  

I have four drawers to play with.

I made the stained glass lamp out of sea glass and other glass scraps.

My friend Janice found me some wonderful little acorn caps from Florida and I couldn't wait to turn them into these little felted gems.  

I made this little picture for my friend Connie inspired by something on one of her Pinterest boards.  In addition to the needled felted circles, I used wool scraps, and buttons.
