Do you find yourself needing more fun little Halloween decorations and you're a fan of felting? Well, me too! I've been making things with all the traditional Halloween motifs, but I will have to say I am a big fan of the "eyeball" So here is what I came up with:
Do you find yourself needing more fun little Halloween decorations and you're a fan of felting? Well, me too! I've been making things with all the traditional Halloween motifs, but I will have to say I am a big fan of the "eyeball" So here is what I came up with:
The base of the eyeball was wet felted. I started with some reverse spun roving (I carded back some wool yarn back into fiber)
Here it is just starting to be wet and soapy in the first stage of rolling
And here it is all wet felted up into a nice ball. OK now onto the needle felting.
I cut a small circle of green flat wet felted roving and then needle felted it onto the eyeball. I then cut a small piece of the black and rolled it into a tiny ball (wet) and then needle felted it onto the center of the green area of the eyeball. Designer note: I realize my eyeballs are not the same size. I am OK with that. I think that makes them "spookier"
