I havn't done any <span style="font-weight: bold;">needle felting i</span>n a while and it was so much fun to watch this little guy come to life. The whole project only used a <span style="font-style: italic;">barbed needle </span>and wool roving. No patterns or glue were used.<br />To see more felted project please go to my web site <a href="http://www.thefeltedpurse.com">http://www.thefeltedpurse.com<br /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6915675756625198820-2677485744265979542?l=managerieofcrafts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01614048924961385959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915675756625198820.post-27074861973866287052009-08-30T15:50:00.004-04:002009-09-07T10:45:35.112-04:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.thefeltedpurse.com/"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1s7Hg57Vmdc/SprYge6wp3I/AAAAAAAAACA/ierdIx8iSSg/s320/P1010034.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375847157787043698" border="0" /></a><br />I just finished my newest project- a shibori scarf.
