Toodee's Needle Felting Project

So I go down to the studio tonight and there's Toodee with a chunk of wool and the needle felting tool stuck between his teeth. He told me he wanted to try needle felting and ran off to a corner of the table to set to work...... Well about a half an hour later he came back with what he called, "his new Halloween eyeball"! He wore it the whole night and I couldn't get him to take it off!
I made this little Halloween book of 8 original ATCs and right away he grabbed it to read it with his "new eye".

Here is the finished project from the other night. Her name is Zelda and this is her Halloween display complete with tiny frosted bottle brush tree inside of her glittery black bat cave and 2 needle felted jack-o-lanterns. She is available at All Hallows Evening.

I was watching "Ugly Betty" tonight and her dad gave her this little bit of advice, "Life isn't about making the right decisions, it's about dealing with the decisions you've made." Boy, isn't that the truth! It just hit me as a really good quote.

Studio Musings.....

Greetings from the studio! I had an idea tonight for a piece that involved a glittery Christmas ball, decorative papers, wool roving and long needle and a band saw. Hmmmmmm.....what will it be? Check back tomorrow to find out.

Toodee got midevil with the needle felted pumpkin and tried to chew off the stem. I had to threaten him with the big felting needle and he then spit it out and sulked back to his home in the scissors. Hey, just look at the size of that needle, you would have spit out the pumpkin too!

I really like this needle felting thing, however a word to the wise......you must maintain focus while stabbing with the needle....do not and I repeat "DO NOT" look up at the T.V. for even one second or you my friend will have a band-aid in your future!
