This is another little fabric collage that I incorporated a little bit of needle felting. First I used the hand felter to attach the houndstooth fabric to the brown felt. This is a great way to attach fabric without having to sew by hand or machine. I also made the little nest using the hand felter. First I cut a small circle of felt, laid some brown roving on it, and felted. Then I laid several different fibers around the edge of the circle. Here is where you can really play. I used different colors of brown, and even some eyelash fibers. I felted these fibers very lightly, and then felted more in the center to create a tighter felted area for the glass bead eggs. This felting will probably find it’s way into a lot of my fabric collages. Have you tried it? I’d love to hear and see what you are doing!
This is beautiful!!!!
