guess what i am doing now?

so guess what i am up to now???? as if i needed ONE more art form to get into.......i learned NEEDLE FELTING today from a dear friend, who incidentally USED to be my boss many many MOONS ago in Iowa....she is visiting here with her daughter and grand-daughter.......and when she comes to town we usually "peruse" the craft and fabric stores together....and usually have a stop at Goodwill!!!......it is amazing what you can find there...really!......one of the things she buys there is old wool clothing......then shrinks it and makes absolutely wonderfullyiscious things from it, like purses, etc. etc. etc.........then she needle felts really darling and cool things onto the items!.......

anyway.......so i bought enuf "bare" essential stuff to get me started and this is my first project......tho......NOT done.........more to come!......this is the start of a doll.......the rest of the doll will be in polymer clay......or at least i HOPE that will happen.......that is the plan! we had one set of body parts for the doll in the oven and well.........let's just say.......her body parts kinda burned.......not too pretty......i tried painting over it.....but it looked horrible.........so will have to try again on that endeavor........

hey! have any of YOU peeps out there tried this???? care to comment??? pleeeeze?????
