A Bit Of Magic

I always forget how magical needlefelting is till I do it again.  There's something very special about taking bits of plain old wool roving like this:

 

And using it to create something like this:

 

King Winter will adorn our winter nature tray soon.  He stands about 9 inches tall including his crown.  I never thought I'd love a man with a beard, but I do.  I'm thrilled with how he turned out:

 

 

I'm thinking a tomten to join him just might be needed.

Thanks ladies!
