Wet Felted Santa

I'm practicing my wet felting still and here is my second head!! Wet felting is really fun. You never know what face will turn up. This one looked like Santa to me!

Flapper Poppy

Here is my Poppy from by Brenda Brightmore's book Cloth Dolls. I used Windsor Ponte for her body and the little fingers turned so easily.

Deb Pope & Wet Felting

Wet Felting was soooooooo much fun. It isn't that difficult to do a basic head. The problem is getting what you want from the head. It takes a lot of practive as most things. Deb is one of the best teachers and extremely giving in what she knows. I definately want to make another head. Here is my guy I did in class.

Trip to Gatlinburg, Tenn. NIADA

Bill and I had a great time at Gatlinburg. Bill was able to travel around and also do a little fishing. He had an adventure with a bear which was a little scary. There were several sightings of bears there. Some at NIADA campus. It was held at Arrowmont Art & Design and was a great place. A little problem for me walking on the hills. Tues and Wed. 9/2009, I took a two day workshop with Leslie Molen. She is a fun teacher and I learned a lot about putting in the eyes, free standing doll, sculping the face.....Here is Pearl Blossom, Li Hua.

Candlestick Doll

Jayne taught this candlestick doll for playday at Jean's house Sat. It was a fun day. The skirt is a metal candlestick turned upside down that Brenda gave me. Pretty cool.
