little felted forest fairy bags

This week I tried my hand at wet felting a few items. I tried ascarf out of alpaca....that I'm not entirely happy with. I had to do it twice cause first time I did not use enough layers of wool. I learned that alpaca is finer than sheeps wool and therefore more layers are required for it to be thick enough.
So then i tried some lovely foresty coloured sheep rovings. I was intending to make a scarf. The shrinkage was more than I bargained for so I ended up making two small bags.....one is a good size for an iphone and the other a little smaller. I am happy how they turned out.

There were a couple of thin spots so I featured them with some stitching.



I can't wait to try some more...I have a million ideas swimming around in my head.

Have a happy day.
