Anyone want to host a needle-felt along??

With all the talk we have had recently about loving the look of NF and those who actually do it how much they enjoy it, I am just hoping someone will have time to do a needle felt along!! I know many of us are entrenched in swap crafting but I REALLY want to learn how to do it and visual is the best way for me.

So, any takers???? pretty please!!

I found htis site earlier tonight as I was looking for info on how to clean and prepare a raw wool fleece that I sitting here so that I can needle felt with it ... http://www.allfiberarts.com/cs/felting.htm

The entire site is great - tons of links. The instructions on how to needle felt dolls are great! Maybe we can do a craft along

I could do one. What do you want to felt? I don't have anything planned right now, since I am finishing projects and haven't given new ones any thought yet.

I can't do anything with red roving thogh, because I don't have any. And I can't buy more because every time I got to the lys I just have to get a big bag of all kinds of colors of roving and my box is already overflowing, lol. I am on craft supply diet

YES!! I knew we could get this together!!

I am interested in starting with something very simple. A bunny seems pretty easy or even a simple human form.

I will look through the site that Bonnie mentioned too!!

Thanks again. This will be FUN!

Edited: I just went to the site and saw this: http://www.mielkesfarm.com/ladybug_dir.htm
Oh, shoot though, it is red!! Never mind but it looks fairly simple. Will keep looking.

Hi,
I would love to join in ! - I do need to order some new hooks and foam, however.

I can dye you up a bit of red felt if you need some

I would love to do a rabbit or a turtle... I did do the ladybug at mielkes farm - and the instructions are really well done if anyone wants to that as well.

Warm wishes,
Tonya

I would love to do a rabbit. I tried a rabbit last winter but just couldn't make it look the way I wanted. Even with numerous trips into Holden's bedroom to look at the real thing (we have 3 bunnies), lol!

I can try the ladybug on my own then. The directions do look quite thorough!!

A bunny would be GREAT!! We have one also and the children love anything related to them!!

I'm all for it, and hopefully I have roving in the right colour!
