I found this forum by searching for information on needle felting.  I hadn't tried it, but wanted to.  After finding SOO much wonderful information and inspiration on here, I ran out and bought some needles.  Being that I'm a SAHM and homeschool-mom, I have no extra money for materials and I "make-do" with what I can.  I had no roving, but HAD to start playing.  So I grabbed some curling wool just to get the feel of the needles.  WELL... 2 hours later and I had what looked like a full paw-pad.  Next thing ya' know, I have a set of four...

So I grabbed my graph paper and sketched a quick pattern AROUND the paw-pads, not even thinking twice about purportion.  The only fabric I had was some green curly "stuff" I found a few weeks ago, and I LOVE 'cause it was so silky.  (Thought I'd make a pillow out of it.)  The fabric fought and fought me... "fur" was EVERYWHERE!!  Well.. to make this long post shorter, here's two pics of what came out of it!  Totally different from any teddy I've made before. (He has no ears yet, I forgot to sketch them, that's how excited and impatient I was... )

All comments will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks everyone!  This place is great.   bear_original

This fellow is just so different from what I've done before.  I've got his ears on, he's no longer earless.  Now... to figure out my dad's camera for a better shot of him...
