Felting Frenzy - Cat, Penguin, and African Tribal Brooch

Here are some of my new felt creations:


I am really enjoying this needle felting lark - my creative voodoo! :-)

Here's a little cat I made. One of my first ones - made a while back, but I kept forgetting to take a photo of it.


Here's the tail in detail. I know, I know it's green, but I didn't have any brown or cream or grey, so green it was. :-)



This is the famous zebra brooch, but when it was finished it looked nothing like a zebra, but African/tribal instead. I still like it.


As you can see I used wooden beads: rondelles, round ebony beads, carved beads and a lovely carved bone bead in the centre.


This is the brooch from the back. The round brooch back works really well.



Here's my latest creation: a penguin for Steve based on the Linux logo penguin. Doesn't look quite the same. When it was finished I decided it needed some spikes on top of its head - a bit like a Rockhopper penguin. :-)


Here's the face in detail:

Tattoo Madness

When I went to London with Ben to meet Toby and Penny, Ben and I went to Covent Garden first and Ben had a temporary henna tattoo done. He loved it so much that he wanted another, so I bought some henna on eBay. Here are my first two attempts with the original design underneath each tattoo.


This one is on his right hand.This one is on his left arm.

The biggest problem was to make Ben stay still. He didn't like that bit. I used free designs I found on the net and drew them freehand. Fingers crossed they'll come out okay. Now I just have to keep Ben from smearing the henna all over the sofa and not rubbing it off before time.
