Last Friday two friends came over and we had our first Art Day.
The idea is to play with a new medium or project, and see what happens. There isn't a set project, per se. It is more of a set out supplies and see what transpires kind of thing. This meeting we played with needle felting.
Now it is true that I've dabbled before, but honestly I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing and I don't seem to do this craft without company. We ate homemade coffee cake, drank coffee, chatted, and worked out lots of aggression by stabbing wool with barbed needles. It was pretty much a perfect morning.
By the end of the morning, there was an owl,
and angel,
We're meeting again on this Friday (November is crazy busy, so only two of us will meet.) and we're going to tackle some felt ornaments. I'm braking out the ornament kit I bought last year, but never took out of the mailer. We'll use it as a starting point, and see what we end up with.
