Wet Felted Wheaties

Had fun on a sunny day outside wet felting these little guys.

To get the wheaten colour, I had dyed some white corriedale wool fibre from Ashford Handicrafts, using food a mixture of tea and coffee, and a white vinegar mordant. I used some grey alpaca fibre for the ends of the ears, beads and buttons for the face. They're quite small, biggest one is only 7cm.

Quite cute, but serve no practical purpose whatsoever and I have no idea what to do with them now...

Upside Down Dog - my First Felted Airedale

There's something really sweet about this fellow. It was Troy the Airedale's favourite pose when I made it more than a few years ago. Troy is no longer with us but this little tribute remains on my shelf. I sometimes think that your first efforts at making something can be the most 'honest'. Sometimes, of course, they can be your most 'disastrous', but those ones probably won't make an appearance here. Here's to you, Troy.
