Felted Sheep

Here's a present I made for a cousin's first birthday. A needle felted sheep!! It was perfect timing because the munchkin and I just visited a Fiber Arts festival and got to see a sheep dog demo. I think the relationship between the dogs and sheep is so funny to watch. We also got to see a lot of Alpacas, Llamas, goats, and rabbits. I bought some fairly inexpensive roving that I am quite excited about. :-) This wool for my toy sheep came from the very first fleece I ever worked with and you can read about it in my first ever blog post HERE.

I also made a wet felted ball. Felt balls actually have quite a bit of bounce to them and they are perfect for a young child to handle. If you're looking to make a wet felted ball, check out the link above as well.

I shared this post at the following funky parties:
