bunnies from goats, eggs from sheep

(that almost sounds like a headline from a tabloid newspaper...)


What's this? Did one of my cashmere bunnies bring me an Easter egg? No, I just needle felted a little wool roving around a styrofoam egg...

Super cinchy, no tutorial needed! Wrap a layer of wool roving around a styrofoam egg. The egg will give you a nice uniform shape and you'll use less roving than if you felted the whole thing out of wool. I used the Clover tool (see bunny post) to felt the roving on to the styrofoam. Add some spots or stripes by laying down other colors on top and needle felting into place.

You'll be seeing more of these just as soon as I wrestle this dang manuscript to the mat. Deadline next week!
