The only things I made on vacation



I was not my usual self on vacation in RI this year.... no late night crafting after all the wild things went to bed. I did fascinate my nephews by practicing my needle felting. These two dry needle-felted beads were my first experiments at three-dimensions with felt. I discovered last night a better way to do it so these lonely creatures will be the first and last of their kind.

What does one do with silly felted beads, you might ask? Please, offer suggestions, as I have no clue! I think I turned "on" comments so it should work now. These are about the size of a nickel or quarter each, and their Achilles heal is that I did not do the base properly so they are a tad too squishy for The Judges, whomever they are.
