A pictoral essay from Day One, Needle Felting with Bobbie Ripperger.
And yes, I am aware that our roly poly pandas kinda look like cream-colored roly poly ducks right now... but I'm hoping for big things tomorrow. :)
Welcome!
Our foam pieces were professionally cut by Bobbie's husband, using my old electric knife...
Before...
Bobbie's a wonderful teacher!
A roly-poly panda in progress...
Two prototypes. (No, these aren't our student pieces... we could only wish... haha!)
Bobbie makes this sound easy...
Yep, looks like a duck.
Ok, I mean an angel duck... :)
Take home message, day one...
Needle felting is a fun and mysterious art form requiring only a needle, some poofs of wispy wool, a dollop of perserverance, a healthy portion of faith and a generous teacher like Bobbie. (and maybe a little bit of pixie dust, we'll see tomorrow...)
