I've had this chippy old enamelware cup for some time now. It originally housed a small plant, then later became a scoop for the laundry detergent. Lately it had been languishing in a cabinet, unused. Last weekend I plucked it out and began needling. I had seen the talented Mimi Kirchner's tiny world pin cushions a long time ago, which are housed in vintage teacups and thought they were so sweet. I'm more suited to a chippy enamelware cup than a pretty teacup though. So I made my own world in a cup, and it's definitely my kind of place. There's a garden in the back yard. And sheep. Of course there are sheep. I suppose it could act as a pin cushion, but I think instead it will sit on my desk and make me happy. Cheers! Happy Weekend, all.

前作の子猫3号で植毛作品の良さを再確認したのですが、トリミング中の脱毛がひどかったり、トラ模様がハッキリ出なかったり問題点もあったので、その点を改善させるべく、再度、茶トラ白に挑戦する事にしました。今回は製作途中の画像も少し紹介します。と言っても、諸先輩方のＨＰやブログを見て真似ているだけなんですが・・・。まずは目と頭の大きさを決めます。今回は手足にもワイヤーを入れました。ワイヤーは0.9mmの銅線です。頭の大きさを基準にして手足の長さを決めます。今までの子猫達と並べられるように、子猫3号をゲージとして使用し、同じポーズをとらせて手足の長さを決めました。ワイヤーには肉付けの羊毛がくっつきやすいように毛糸を巻いて、その毛糸に羊毛を刺していくようにして固定しています。白い毛糸なのでガイコツのようですね。骨組み...子猫4号

Yesterday I shared a glimpse of a new felted piece I had just completed. I added a dash of cute to this one in the form of a wee mouse. Not just any mouse, but my very first mouse. I made him peeking out of his hole beneath the shade of an amanita. He peers out with his glass bead eyes, his whiskers a' twitchin'. He is poised to scamper out and grab some seeds to sock away for winter. I guess it's a good thing he's trapped under glass. In order to avoid using glue in my pieces, I instead drill holes through the wood base (this one a chunk of chokecherry I cut) and sew the scene to it. It's a bit of extra work, but it's a detail that I think is important. This teeny pair of mushrooms made their way to my shop yesterday too. These guys are tucked in amongst the moss and sporophytes, blades of grass and pebbles, set into a chunk of oak I brought in from my woods. Both of these have found new homes already (thank you, ladies!) but I enjoyed them so much I have a feeling I'll be working on others soon.
Needle-felted mushrooms are a beautiful autumn craft. Creating something organic brings an earthy and simple elegance to the day. And the rooving (wool fleece) feels and smells so good.

Many years ago I discovered the art of needle felting. When you needle felt, you stab wool fiber repeatedly with a very sharp, barbed needle. The barbs of the needle felt the wool into shapes and thus you can sculpt it!
