mushrooms of a different kind!

I must be in a restless mood cause I am hopping around with the craftiness! That's what happens when you work on craft books... the latest bug I've caught is needle felting, inspired by the lovely Lisa Jordan over at Lil Fish Studios. Man, this lady is a crafty genius! I fell hard for her mushrooms (even bought some!) and then I had to try them for myself, which lead to an apple tree to a topiary... I'm officially hooked, even though it hurts to type because I accidentally "needle felted" my middle finger. No pain, no gain, I guess! Now what else to make in miniature...

  2. Those are all so adorable! I love that they're felted~ another thing I'd like to learn how to do. I hope your needle-felted finger is feeling better soon!

    PS: OMG! I just realized that I own your book-- love it!

  3. These are so cute! They make me think of little houses and elves - not sure what the connection is there, but ... :)

  4. They are just fantastic! Glad I could inspire you to try it, it's so much fun isn't it?

    Can't wait to see what else you make.

  5. Those are so SO adorable!! I've never tried needle felting but I always love the way it looks. I love the glass jars they are in too, makes it so whimsical!!

  6. ah so cute! I wanted to make a topiary and I know nothing of needle felting but this would make good use of the wide-mouth salsa jars I've been saving with no real project in mind.
