Taking inspiration from Laurie Sharp's book "Wool Pets", I decided to craft a blue wren. I know when I catch a glimpse of those rare little creatures they brighten my day.
Below I have taken pics of the process so you can see how he came together.
My materials, all the tools you need for needle felting
The body parts ready to be felted together.
I used a picture of a Blue Wren for reference. Not exact, but close!
The eyes are ready to be sewn in (two seed beads), to give my wren some character
So there you have him! I threaded some ribbon through his body so Rosie can hang him somewhere and he can brighten the room for her. He was fun to make; needle felting is a meditative sport, very relaxing.
You clever little minx, that looks fantastic.
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely idea, the blue wren is just great. I am sure she will just love it. Keep up the good work, Gail
