Whimsy Woods

 I had a miscellaneous piece of wet felting that I didn't know what to do with so it just sat waiting patiently.  I also had a few needle felted owls that needed a place to call home.  I embroidered a few blue beetles and wrapped thread around a few beads.
 Needle felted a couple of caterpillars and wrapped more beads
 and added a butterfly on a tree
 and voila, my owls are happy with their whimsical home :)
We spotted this Sharp-shinned Hawk in the back yard no doubt looking for a tasty sparrow or chickadee.  It was gorgeous to see but it eventually flew away empty clawed.

Have a most beautiful day!!!

  1. Your wee little owls are SO cute!!!! They look like they're having a picnic (and if the teddy bears can, why can't owls?).

  4. Isn't is amazing how a piece of material can call out: Use me like this, and then all falls into place! You have created a wonderful world based on a piece of felt that was just 'hanging around'.

  10. I so wish I could work with felt (allergy), especially when I see such a nice and fun creation like your owls and their new home!

  11. Very cute, Jenny. I'll miss a wet felting class at the Embroiderers Guild at the end of this month - would have liked to have done it, but will be away. I enjoy your bird photography.
