I'm taking a break from Shark Week to share a few photos of some of my latest projects. First, the above bunny. Yes, it's a bunny. I tried my hand at felting this afternoon. A few weeks ago, I saw
Isabella Hoffman on
Sewing With Nancy. She was felting with a felting machine, which actually looked like a sewing machine except without thread or a bobbin! How cool! I couldn't go out and buy one of those machines, so I bought a hand felting tool and mat. I used freezer paper to make the bunny shape on a tan colored piece of felt. I then placed the bunny shape on a piece of wool and then went to town with the felting needle tool. It was fun. I'm going to play around a bit more with Mr. Bunny and maybe even add some shading with the fabric markers. Sidenote: It seems kind of weird to be crafting with wool and felt when it is so hot outside! Oh well!
I want to show you a few more of the zippy bags I've finished. I
transferred images to all of them and then embellished with yo-yo's, rick rack, beads, free motion embroidery, buttons and lace. More stuff for my yet-to be opened Etsy Shop!

What great bags! I love the pictures you've chosen. And the bunny is cute - felting is something I keep saying I'm going to try but have never got round to.
I could tell right away that it was a bunny. Good job! I've never tried felting, I've seen it done on TV and it looks interesting. And the bags... the Beauty Shop bag!! OMG! My daughter is in Cosmetology school and I think she might just Have to Have that one! I pinned it so she'll see it at Pinterest. I'll keep an eye out for your Etsy shop to open.
Thanks for following my blog, btw!
How adorable! Love your little felted bunny. I did a little needle felting project at one of the quilt shows I attended last year....it was a lamb and I loved it! I keep telling myself that I'm going to buy the tools so I can do more, but I need another project like a hole in the head!
Love the zippy bags, too, Angela. You've captured some cool images on them!
XOXO,
Cyndi
