I recently went to a large Craft Fair in Seattle called 'Urban Craft Uprising'. Around 100 independent crafters were there, selling their goods. They also had some free demos you could attend if you were fast enough to get a chair. I put my waning youth to the test, and was able to get a seat at the 'Needle Felting' demo. I fell in love with the process of creating something from a chunk of wool by repeatedly stabbing it with a needle. When I arrived home, I wandered off to Fabric depot and bought the basic supplies. Finally this weekend I had a chance to use them, and I love what I made!
I created a Felt Inchie. Now, an inchie is a 1 inch by 1 inch piece of artwork. It can be made from anything. The swap partner I created this tiny piece of art for loves cats, and loves bad horror movies; especially the ones with zombies in them. Since we are coming up on Halloween, I decided to make her a tiny little zombie cat. I then framed it int a tiny shadow box frame, and I will be mailing it off Wednesday. The pictures did not turn out very well because the piece is so small. The word I stitched above the cat says "brain', since zombies love to eat brains. I painted a little glitter on the frame to make it festive and fun, and wha-lah! One cute zombie kitty felt inchie!
