I have been doodling with wool roving
and a felting needle.
I am not very good at all, but I still like to experiment. ;)
To this I've added some hand embroidery,
glass beads and Swarovski crystals.
Little delicate flowers and swirled designs,
make me happy.
Funny, I cannot resist buying wool roving
in gorgeous colors, but I don't really use it much.
As a result, I have way too much roving than I
know what to do with !
(All displayed in large old glass jars)
This is a jar I take with me to shows.
I am always amazed at how many people
don't know what natural wool looks like.
As in, "fresh from the sheep".
Beautiful,soft, curly and twisty...
unprocessed wool fiber.
I am thinking this might work wonderfully
with a Santa's beard or an appliqued sheep.
Here in Pennsylvania it is 81 degrees
with cool breezes...perfect.
Enjoy this beautiful day !

Love the look of the natural wool I can totally see it on appliqués sheep.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely day. Hope you get more like it this summer.
I have never worked with wool roving. I have wanted too though. I really like what you have been making with it. I feel the same way about wool. I do have some too, :)
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are lovely. I hope you keep having lovely weather too.
Have a very nice weekend.
Your flower designs are really pretty. I think the natural wool in the jars makes a wonderful display.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo of the flowers enjoying the sun.
