Finally some Needle Felting

Well its taken a while but i think i'm finally out of my blues. OOOOOOO that was bad lol
Now this week i've been so into needle felting again and its so good, this girl is what came out and i really like her.
She has a core of Merino and her outlayer is Romney, her clothes are my dyed Gotland and her hair is one of the first yarns i spun on my hand spindle. She stand 18inch tall.
I think SKY is a nice name for her, what do you think.

  7. I am glad to see someone else feels bad about stabbing her creations, I always do when they start to look like real beings, I make alot of dogs and pandas and always feel bad aboutg stabbing them. I thought I was just nuts but its nice to see I am not alone.
