Just playing...

It's been quite a while since I've felt this free with at least some of my time, I'm really loving it! I'm trying to do more experimenting with my felting, and to remember some of the things I learned at Felter's Fling, especially from Marjolein Dallinga.

She has such an inspiring approach to teaching, she wanted us to NOT think or plan things out too much, and she constantly reminded us that mistakes are the way we learn. "When you don't get what you were trying for, what you do get is experience."  I love that!

Yesterday I just wanted to do a wall hanging and try to achieve some thin black line. I used some alpaca yarn that I had around- it did pretty well and I like the result, but am going to try some other methods as well.  You can check this little hanging out further in my Etsy store.
Today I've been working with some fall/pumpkin themes.

 
This guy (or gal), or whatever it is, I'm not sure if it's done or not?  Any suggestions?  I am really pleased with how well the cords felted in, looks like a rasta pumpkin!

And finally, a birdhouse.  I hope to make some more of these in fall colors.  It's listed on Etsy as well.
