something new

Always when I'm floating around on the internet
I find new interesting things and ideas.
Quite some times I'm amazed
what people are making :
so many beautiful things are being made !

In the "felting business" I like very much what Gabi is doing :
I love her animals and "persons"
they're friendly and funny !
( I love it when people put some humour in their art,
like Annette Quentin-Stoll who wrote two wonderful books about felting )

I did my first try-out on figures a few days ago :
a little chicken

... and admired Gabi's work a lot more after that !

She gave a lot of good advise on her site
( but I had to cheat at the comb and the tail :
sorry, I used a felting needle ...! )

Although this wet-felting figures technique isn't quite so easy
I had another go today.

... started wrong, cheated again, this time with thread and needle ...

... had some better wool to fit all together ...
( a lot depends on the kind of wool you work with ! )


... and here the little fella finally was after some good hours of work
in his own soapy swimming pool !

I like him ( her ? )
although there isn't a real face yet.
That will come later
( and hair and cloths ofcourse .... )
