Because I Felt Like It.

I finished all my show entries!!!  Yipee!  Three more days, oh my.  So to relax, I took out my felting machine and played around trying to recreate some of the lovely northern lights I saw last month from my bedroom window.  I've been wondering how to do a Northern Lights piece.  Felting seems perfect.  Look at the swooshes and swirls you can do!

This is just a bare-bones example.  I'll do a lot more with this piece to embellish it.  So far, so good.  I bought that Janome Expressions felting machine off Kijiji earlier this year but I've only used it twice (fail).   It has 5 barbed needles and a presser foot like a regular machine.  It's pretty cool!

That's all for now folks!  If anyone is wanting to take a peek, I have a tutorial I made last year on how to construct 7 attach a hanging sleeve.  It's the yellow fabric link you'll find on the left side of this blog.  Click on it and scroll down.  I hope that helps for anyone hasn't made a hanging sleeve before... though I think most people in this show are seasoned pros!!
