Needle felted sheep...


This furry love made his way home for Christmas~
He is living in Nevada with one of my dearest friends!
Wanted to share bits of how I felted him~


I gathered wool from three New York State farmers...
It was a joy to meet them & to visit the sheep in their pastures!


It is fun to hold larger needle felted pieces... 
If I knew how to do this as a young teen my bedroom would have
quickly become over-run with wool animals!


First layer of curls...


Little color to face & ears...


Portrait with his long curls on~

Still making a few Christmas gifts for family celebrations later this month...
I invested in a few reverse/inverted barb needles.
When I work on a project with them I will share photographs!

Hope you're days are filled with wonderful~

I would love to hear about your reverse needles. I have been thinking I wouldn't mind getting some as well.
