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):

during my trip to portland, oregon i bought some fantastic feather earrings by marion max at an amazing vintage store rocknrose:

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 admit i plucked a few from the feather duster.

this stuff blows me away. i got it last year at ReSTORE in burlington, and i use a little every year, and finally i scanned some images so i’ll feel more free to use the rest…
