Back to Felting

This Sunday afternoon, I had an hour or so to spare and decided to spend some quality time with my new felting machine. I have only used it on one other occasion and ended up with two bookmarks made from my practice piece.

Today, I took some felted wool that my friend Anita had given to me and took two types of yarn and felted squiggles all over the wool. It helped to give me a better feel for the machine and how it works. It feels very different from a sewing machine and will take some getting used to!!!!

I ended up with this piece……

and since I cant stand to waste anything, I cut it into two bookmarks……
It proved to be a VERY fun use of an extra hour on a Sunday afternoon…..maybe even better than a nap!!
