Diorama's are Cool.
Hello Friends!
I hope 2014 is going well for all of you! I haven't checked in for awhile and I wanted to share a recent creation. I've always been fascinated wit all things MINIATURE and I had these little circles that I picked up from a craft store, so I gave it a whirl.
This is my try at a bluebird themed diorama!

I WON! I WON FELTING STUFF!!!
Hey Friends! I'm so excited I just have to share! :)
Remember the poodles I just posted about?
Well, for those of you who don't hang on my every post, (ha!) I received an order for 10 big poodles (5 pink, 5 white) that would be in centerpieces for a baby's 1st birthday party.
- Oodles of Snooty Poodles
Soooo, anyway, I misjudged the amount of pink wool roving I would need to complete the 5 pink poodles. I had to place an "emergency order" for "CUPCAKE" colored roving. I called the very nice folks at LIVING FELT and they helped me out with my
Pink Poodle Predicament!
I received my pink roving in time to complete the order, and it all worked out!!! YAY!
So I posted pics of the final product on Living Felt's Facebook page, to let them know how they helped me out. By posting pictures on their page, I was automatically entered in a drawing for a gift certificate to Living Felt's awesome online store, a wonderful place full of what fellow felters covet: beautifully colored FUZZ (aka wool roving) and all the tools of the trade.
I WON!

Poodle Party!
I just finished a special order requested by a party planner. Her client was having a 1st birthday party, and the party had a Paris theme.
The request was for ten of my poodles. When I found out they were for the centerpieces, I asked if she wanted them bigger than my normal 5 to 6 inch tall poodles. She said yes, and so began my first venture into SUPER SIZED needle felted creations!
I have to say, it was a learning experience! Although not too different as far as technique, planning just how much wool I needed was the hard part.
The order was for 5 pink and 5 white poodles, with lavender ribbons tied into bows on their ears.
Snooty attitude was standard.
I had about 2 and a half weeks to complete them all, and Halloween (my fave holiday second to Christmas) was in that time period too. But I managed it, and feel confident I provided my customer with my very best effort.
She was kind enough to send pictures....the first one is their arrival to her house:
This second picture is of the actual completed centerpiece. Her client was happy, and so was the party planner. It was a fun experience!
I may try to go large with my deer as well, since the holidays are now upon us. And by that I mean the carols are already playing in some stores, and the commercials have begun. This is the time of year that I use the MUTE button on my remote control OFTEN.
Hope this finds you all well!

Sharing Makes the World Go 'Round!
Hello Friends! I just decided I'm going to start sharing shops on Etsy that I think are pretty swell. Why not, right?
Just came across this artist from the feed of people that I follow on Etsy....someone had "hearted" something in this shop and I decided to check things out. Just in time for the Halloween season, if you visit this shop it will be like visiting a haunted house...all in the comfort and safety of your armchair. :) Enjoy!
I love the titles of her work, too! Check her out!https://www.etsy.com/shop/StoriedEye?ref=pr_shop_more
