Default Felting: A New Addiction!

Does anyone else do any felting? Kelli I know you do some (woudl love to see some of your work!), anyone else? I just made my first felt hat (with the help of Jack) for Jack. Its a little smallish but still fits (his head is ginormous - always has been). I also felted some soap I made last night which was lotsa fun and super easy. I am going to make myself a bag on Wednesday ( I have a felting date with my friend once a week yay!) .

OK it still needs to be trimmed a little on the brim but I am waiting for it to dry completely.

I also need to buy an iron and some starch to make my next hat, will make it much more rigid. THis one is ok but it only has a short brim.

oops forgot the soaps! The red/orange one didn't work, I was testing just how thin you could make the wool, and the corners poked through. Still useable though.
