Last week I visited one of my favorite local needlework shops and found some natural wool roving for sale at a fantastic price. I bought some and used it for a project that I've been wanting to try for awhile now. I gathered a few small river rocks and wet felted a cover for them using this tutorial I found on YouTube. Then I tried my hand at embellishing them with some embroidery stitches using crochet thread instead of floss - definitely not perfect - but I like the texture - and the neutral colors. I think these will look pretty displayed under a glass cloche.
Wow, who thinks of these things? Love the look!
ReplyDeletewonderful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique and wonderful idea! They most certainly "rock"!
ReplyDeleteGayle, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your felted creations...yes, they do "rock!" I want some!!

I really like the way they turned out. They would look neat sitting in a large bird's nest under the cloche, too. Good job!
ReplyDeletewonderful; thanks for inspiring me and making my brain click
