Seeing what others were doing with wisps of wool, on felt and fabric, and thinking of folk art animals (applique and embroidery on, eg, rabbit shapes), I aimed to make a xmas tree ornament....
The bunny had a mind of its own (and I broke three needles doing it) -
The back is delightfully fuzzy - cut out and with hanging loop attached between the ears, this will be a flat ornament, so that both sides can be a tactile experience -
Afterwards I went to Rathcoole Gardens, where some excellent needle felting had appeared - a bevy of
Jill Hutton's quirky "angels" -
