This time it is finally something done by me! No stamping. He's felted. This was my handmade gift for my Secret Sister this year. I knew she collected snowman ornaments so I thought I would try making one. This is only the third thing I have felted. I wish I had done a little more with the scarf. The wool was varigated but some polka dots or stripes would of been cute. I was afraid to go too crazy since I haven't made too many things before. Of course I was also down to the wire to get him done and shipped out. It is alot of fun making these little creations.
My felting supplies were a great gift from a stamping friend. She had made me or maybe it was really for Tatum (shhhhh) a little felted bunny. It was adorable. I asked how she did it and then she surprised me with bag of goodies.
I am actually in need of some more wool roving so if your into felting and have a good source let me know.
this is mine, mine, mine and i just love him to pieces. my favorite are snowmen. michele, you did a superb job on this little guy. he immediately went on my tree and will be treasured for years to come. the best ornaments are the ones you receive from friends- the ones that evoke fond memories each year as you hang them on the tree. ornaments and snowmen are two of my very favorite things so you really hit the nail on the head! he really is a quality snowman. you really did a great job felting him.
i gotta learn how to do this!
thank you so much.
