Fabulous Felt! - Folksy Friday No. 26

I really love the variety of form, colour, pattern, purpose...... offered by hand-felted items. I often 'full' items which I have knitted or crocheted to achieve a closer texture and remove the emphasis from the previously visible stitches. I have produced small quantities of felt to use as backgrounds for some of my brooches. I greatly enjoy the felting process and this produces a good basis for my embroidery. However, my felting skills are minimal. I would have no idea how to form a shape for example. I have only tried wet felting - needle felting is a mystery to me.

I hope you like these beautiful items as much as I do. I could not resist including 'Ignatius' DiddyBear. The character encapsulated in these tiny characters is immense!
