Felting

******
******************************************************************************
Needle felting is the process of poking fluffy wool with a barbed needle hundreds of times to sculpt a shape. Needle felting is basically sculpting and painting with wool...

Rhona had such a project for us... Turned out to be very relaxing and fun. We fashioned pin cushions.
Pictured above Rhona, Kathy, Cindy are poking, poking and poking. Just like with flattening the forks...every now and then we heard "Ouch"..One thing we learned is if you jab a finger instead of wool it hurts....Below is our creations....
