If only, I somehow manage to jab my fingers somewhere new and totally random each time!! 🤣

I swear my felting needles have minds of their own and say 'hey you know what would be really fun when you're using white wool?!'

needle felting is all fun and games until you stab yourself like this is supposed to be HELPING ME

This mushroom went through so many iterations and colours but I'm really happy with the final result!

I am by no means an expert or historian, I just got curious when I started felting and went down the rabbit hole!

CarrieLCreative @carrielcreative.bsky.social · 9d

If memory serves it was part of an exploration on what is possible with wool from the 60s as a rebellion at what you can/can't do.It developed different methods over time eventually including needle felting. I think Sweet Pea Dolls was a good resource for the history of the craft when I looked it up

It's the crafty and artistic communities that give me hope that the world can become a better place. Being able to find beauty in this dark chaotic world is an incredible gift.

So close to being done! Just 2 inches of back stitching through 5 and 7 layers of canvas and velvet to go then I can start my spooky season projects 🎃👻🐈‍⬛

I can't wait to finish this project. Sewing through so much sturdy fabric I'm having to use the pliers!

I'll have to look that up!
I think I have some teeny tiny books in my craft stash that would be the right scale for these ghosts so could potentially use those but also considering making a comfy armchair, or maybe a rocking chair...or would that ghost need to be knitting? The ideas are endless!

My other idea was some kind of bookish ghost but not sure how to make that work yet 🤔

Thank you so much! They are so fun to make :)

Tag me if you post it, I'd love to see! These were really good to do as it gives a lot of practice for the basics, especially the pumpkin with all those indented lines :)

Black cat is what I'm leaning toward with its little ears and tail poking out!

That's fair, that would be such a silly amount of modern stitching it would bug me too!

This is stunning! I hope your fingers can have a well deserved rest now though...or are you already onto the next project? 😅

Trying to think of ideas for what little ghostie I could make for spooky season this year. The pumpkin and witch ghosts need a buddy, but who? 🤔

This is so cute!

Working veeeeery slowly on a new project. These are so flat and about 3cm wide at the base so it is taking a lot of patience and delicacy which I do not have!

Any guesses what it will be?

It should absolutely be a thing!

I love untangling stuff, and an old housemate used to just give me bundles of necklaces to sort for her, but this hand sewing project had destroyed my poor fingers!

CarrieLCreative @carrielcreative.bsky.social · Aug 9

I think she would tangle it even more though 😂
