After seeing some incredible finished projects I decided to try out needle felting. I didn't like it much at first. In part because the directions that came with the kit I bought were horrible. In part because I was trying to rush things. I expected gorgeous finish products that looked like what I saw on line. Instead mine looked like a five year old did them.
Had a talk with myself and told myself to slow down and give myself time to develop my skills. I also bought a book with good, detailed instructions. I finished another one last night. Doesn't look to bad. Am also enjoying it more since I changed my POV to seeing this as a learning experience. Anyone else here do needle felting? |

Nope. Seen it done on PBS and it does look gorgeous but never tried it. Congratulations for realizing you need time and practice. I think a lot of people try something once and if it’s not perfect they quit.
Hmm this makes me want to sign up for the Ukrainian egg dyeing class. __________________ Nammu …Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. …... Desiderata Max Ehrmann |

It’s called pysanky. You use hot wax to draw designs on the egg. Then dye it in a color, then use the hot wax again over that color. And you keep going until you have completed your design.

CrazyHitch, it's been about a million years since I did it, but used to enjoy crochet.

Yeah they are. There’s a class here this month. I’m thinking of taking it.
