needle felting

Koda Bear asked me to make him penguins that he saw in the Ashland yarn store.  Now, I have never tried needle felting because why would I wish to add another craft?  I am making fun of myself.  I picked up the kit for the penguins.  The Bear was supposed to help me make these guys but he is not quite coordinated enough.  We both got poked a few times with both of us working.

I did not get a lot of pictures of the making.  I was answering a lot of questions from my Dad about how it worked.  I will say practice helps with this craft, just like all others.  The second penguin, Sink, is better then the first penguin, Bomb.  Do not ask me why they are named what they are named.  That was all up to the Bear.

And he seemed to really like them!  I have found a workflow for making a hedgehog.  He likes hedgehogs so I see that this may be something that becomes a gift in the future.  I just really have to get the wool carded and go from there.  My Dad sent me home with a foam board so I have all tools now.

I will just continue laughing at myself!
