Needle felted pendants


 This is what I do when I need a break from cloth. I have been fascinated with fiber since I learned to needle felt hair on my dolls in 2006.  I have several large pieces in my home of felted wildlife. I wanted to do something much smaller to fill the time between projects so I started making pendants.



 I have enjoyed doing these so much. My friends love them and they have been great gift ideas. I will be listing some of them in my Etsy store and on ebay soon.

I like your felted pendants, they are wonderful. I also do other creative things to get a break from dolls, so I do applique.

Thank you Wendy. A break is always nice. Funny how we fill down time with another medium. Have to love creative minds.

Thank you for sharing about your needle felting pendants. They are so very lovely. I have needle felting needles and wool roving and am waiting for just the right doll to make and try the doll hair technique. I have seen tutorials and it looks like a unique way to put hair on a soft sculptured doll.
I was over at Daryle and Katie's Woodstown Whimsies and saw the doll you made for Daryle. What an exquisite doll! What a blessing for you to send it to Daryle in his time of ill health. Looks like it cheered him up a lot! I have been in the Cloth and Clay doll ning since the fall of 2008, and I am also in MAIDA, and at the moment in Dixie's last I.Z. workshop which she says will be the last and will close in August.
I am still in the middle of making the three dolls!
Anyway, I just became a follower of your blog.
