I've seen some neat felt art, MA. There's a fibre arts and supplies store in our area that has a goldmine of dyes, books, wools, materials, etc.

Ok MA..now I think I know what felt is. We use it here to illustrate stories for the children..and we have a felt board on which to put the figures as we read the story. Am I on the right track? Remember that I work with children from many cultures..and languages in their homes.

I do love sea glass tho. I used to collect as a girl when I lived near Boston..and the ocean..which I miss so much!!!!

Hobbies..yes..hobbies..I am playing a shooting computer game called Doom 2. It is very old..say the pros..but they treat me with respect. I mean..I am pretty old,too..relatively speaking. But it relaxes me..gets some agression and tension out of me..and YES..I am very very aware of the fact that it is a game..and I don´t plan to incorporate this into real life. I shoot zombies in this game..so it´s very fantasy like or whatever..I can paly as long as I want..and then just shut it off..almost taking a drink..or a walk..or whatever..and winding down...

What other hobbies are out there??? Or just continue where you left off ladies..this is interesting.

Went for more supplies..lots of advice and the shop is my idea ]
of Aladins cave..there are several ways of crafting the felt..

How is your new hobby going Mountian Ash? What if anything have you done with the felt thus far?

Oh I'm so glad you brought this back up, Nancy. I've been wondering the same thing.

MA?

Me three, come on MountainAsh give, we need info, LOL!!!

Occasionally at craft fairs (although not that often) I see booths which sell felted hats, purses, or house slippers. Felted flower pins.

There are so many possibilities. It seems like a neat hobby to learn. Yes, I too would love to see what you've made!

Work in progress...

Hi Mountain Ash,

I am so glad I happened onto this discussion. I have a friend who has made me several delightful felted pieces. The one I treasure the most is a small felted bowl, which I keep on my dresser to hold "stuff." It is multiple shades of red and had feathers on it.

As I understand the process, she probably crocheted the bowl, then processed it in hot water to cause it to become felted. This, however, would be totally different than the samples JJ showed, which appear to be flat pieces (possibly turned into decorative pins) which are merely created from the felt you can buy in craft stores...

Both are lovely, but which type of felting are you doing?

I am out searching for some tiny pink flowers referably plastic to put on Sassy new collar I crocheted for her. I want her all girly in pink. Hard to find so far...
