new week new lesson to learn.

 This week I began to learn needle felting....something Ive never tried before and this is going to take a lot of practice! But I thought I would share with you my first attempts ...the cat isnt finished . They are both too big but I will learn a little more before attempting to make them smaller ;)
 Here is a little bohemian table lamp I made from findings and 4mm bicones.
 I love these boxes :) Im always looking for storage solutions and discovered these gift boxes at a local discount store .
As you can see they come in quite a range of sizes and for $2 each I thought they were a bargain that would fit into my playroom quite nicely :)

    Wow that needlefelting is great - especially for a first attempt! It looks so hard to do (doubt I could even consider it!). Love how your lamp came up too - very pretty!
    A little question - are they all doll house books?? LOL - those boxes are perfect for 'little things' to be stored in ;-)

    Fantastic results for a first attempt. Imagine what treasures will come out after practice.
    The lamp is great and the boxes a real find.
    Hugs, Drora

    Your first attempt at needle felting is great. I've been wanting to give it a go myself. Also love your lamp and the storage boxes look very interesting, what a great find! Miniaturists can never have too many storage boxes.

    Thanks Sandie ....Yes we need storage boxes ...its finding the room to store the storage boxes that can sometimes be a problem ;) I started this thinking miniatures wont take up much space ha ha ha how wrong was I.
