52 Weeks of Felting - Week 52

Wow.  I can't believe it's my last installment of this series for 2013!! I'm a little surprised that I was able to keep it up.  I mean, some weeks were a little late, but who cares, right?  So, for the last project of the year, I decided to make a polar bear.  And with this polar bear, I think I've started a new obsession: realism.  I love all my cutesy animals, but I've grown as a needle felter, and with growth comes the need for challenge.  Don't worry, the cute critters will still be around.  But you should expect more realistic animals too. I'm pretty excited about this, folks.

Check out this guy....


 I'm feeling a major sense of accomplishment right now for creating 52 new needle felted pieces this year. Actually, I'm pretty sure this calls for some wine.  Cheers!!

  2. This is awesome and I'm pretty sure is on my list to get for my next child in line. He loves polar bears! I can't wait to see what other projects you have in store.

  3. He is so handsome! :) I think it's so cool to see all the different things you can do with felt! I would have never thought it to be so versatile

    1. Right!? It really is an incredibly forgiving medium! You'll have to try it--craft/coffee date next time you're in town? :)

  4. Hello! I just wanted to let you know that I asked my husband to pick out my Christmas present at Indie Emporium this year. I told him to just browse around until he found something that screamed "Holly". He got me two pincushions from you, and I absolutely adore them! I've been putting them to good use, and I also love the fact that they came from someone so talented and upbeat as you seem to be. I wish I could have come to see your booth at the show, but I had strict instructions to stay away so I didn't ruin the surprise. This little bear is so very cute, and so is everything else you make. Have a happy new year!

    1. Hi Holly! You just made my day! Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so happy you love your pin cushions. If I'm at the Emporium next year, maybe you'll be able to sneak in and say Hi...haha! :) Happy New Year!!
