Little Felt Owl

I decided to make a little Owl like birdie, I needle felted the entire thing.

                                               Here is how you start, make a little ball.

Continue adding to the ball until you have the desired size. I always use white so I don't use too much of my dyed wool. So the white is the filler. 


Add the color of your choice (or just simply make the whole thing with that color.


Next shape the eyes, I made them pretty flat, but they don't have to be. 


Then I added eye lids, I think they looked a bit funny. 


Then add pupils, and a high light. 


Then I added eye lashes, because you doesn't love big beautiful eye lashes.


Then attach the eyes to the body. 





All thats left is the beak. 




There you go finished.

Shell collection

I love to find shells on the beach, and when my husband and I were in Florida I spent most of my time on the beach looking at shells. I wanted a way to display them, so I decided to get a big vase. I put all the big broken, or ugly shells towards the middle, to hold the pretty shells to the outside. Here is how it turned out.


It needs to be filled, but I figure I will go to a beach again!
