my friend Suki taught me how to needle felt the other day. it’s crazy! random pieces of fluffy wool, dish soap, and hot water — then you STAB-STAB-STAB the little piece of fluff until all its fibers intertwine.
so i tried out my new skillz making a bird nest pincushion and some lil acorns (special props to Kate Sprout for the photo-blemish-reduction help):

i was really inspired by them and thought i’d take a crack at making some feather earrings myself. mine are made from recycled leather, random beads, a broken necklace chain, and various craft feathers. ok i admid i plucked a few from the feather duster.
