My first felted FAIRY

Being Wednesday I had a lot of misc things I had to do.. and didn't think I would get into the studio at all.. but I did... wow... and I got a lot done...

 

First off, I dyed some natural roving  with my Tim Holtz Color Wash sprays...  they are suppose to hold the color even though washing... so I am told??? Not really sure... but  I will NOT be washing these, so I am not worried about that... 

 

I put the color into the wool and then when it was dry, I combed it with my wool combs... 

 

OKAY...  then I realized that I needed to make a doll armature...  and started to look for my wrapped wires... perfect... found some... then I needed some beads, and maybe some other fibers, and assorted things... (had to clean out a few drawers too... they were messy and that is my rule when I see something like that...)  so at about 2 in the afternoon, I was ready to start to make my first FAIRY...

 

And then my hubby came in for lunch...  OMG... so I always like to enjoy that time together...even if I dont' eat... which today I didn't...  so I talked for a while... did his dishes... and ran into the studio... LOL... literally... 

 

so here is the first FELTED  FAIRY I have ever made...  I have only felted very limited too... so both were sort of new to me...

 

I really had fun... and used all my own hand dyed wools...

 

 

I have already figured out a few things to change about making these... but sure did like the way this one came out...  LOL.. but I bet after a few more, I will be upset that I posted this one.. .right??? 

Top half of her...  she has flowers all the way around her beautiful Butterscotch hair... LOL.. 

 

Put a dime in a picture so you could see how large she is... only about 2 inches tall...  I love her... she is so cute... now I  have to make a HOUSE for her... how come every thing begets something else...  oh well.. I will have to make one...  LOL... loving all this miniature stuff... 

 

Hope you have had a nice day... and have created something fun...  if not... why haven't you???  Get up and create and become ALIVE with the feelings of creation... 

 

Thanks for stopping by for a visit and I really appreciate all your comments that you are all leaving... I really look forward to reading them all..
