Feltin' Fridays #6

First kitty.


I was asked several times last weekend at the open house "How long does it take to make this?".  I felt like I was guessing because I've never sat and kept exact track of my time. I can figure how many days it will take depending on what I have going on in my life at that time but I haven't counted the hours. So Monday I started a new little kitten since I sold the first one to a sweet young cat lover on Sunday.  I had nothing else on the schedule for the day except a stop to make lunch and dinner, walk down to get the mail and help John with some paper work. Other than that I started around 8:00 in the morning and was still working on it when I went to bed around midnight with a little bit of finishing the next morning. So my best guess is at least ten hours. 



I always forget to take pictures of my progress.



Finished new kitty.


  I then spent Tuesday and Wednesday working on a new Polar Bear. I didn't 
track my hours and had more interruptions.


Last night I started a little blue bear.


He and I are having an arguement over how to make his legs.


He wanted to be different from little brown bear and have long skinny legs but
I disagreed and I think I won the arguement.  Now we have to decide-
do we want a bow tie or a big bow?



Brown Bear is very sweet to model for me but he doesn't like how all 
blue bear's fibers are sticking to his brown fur:(



Talk again soon and Happy Felting:)

Playing with Blocks

So my latest little felting adventure now includes children's blocks. I don't know why but I just had this urge to do something with little wooden blocks so I ran into Goodwill and actually found a bag of blocks for $1.99. So here is  Sailor Ducky and  Teddy Bear wearing a red bow tie. Painting the blocks was the hardest. I didn't want them to look perfectly painted but it was hard to get the right shabby look. My first blocks have many coats of paint but hopefully it will be easier now that I know what doesn't work.


I will post pictures of little Elephant and Bunny later.
