As some of you already know, I did a picture tutorial of how I made a needle felted/wet felted egg...and now it's finally time to unveil what hatched from the egg! Here are some pictures of the event!

The Egg slowly opens.dragon01t.jpgdragon02t.jpgA Tiny dragon says "Hello world"dragon03t.jpgThen he stretchs out to dry in the sun.dragon05t.jpgNow for a short nap.dragon06t.jpgWhen he wakes up he says "Hi, my name is Gnarl & I think I am ready for my first adventure!"dragon07t.jpg"If only I could figure out how to get out of this egg."dragon08t.jpgAnd off he goes to explore!dragon09t.jpg

GREAT JOB!

I also just felted a dragon, but I really like your too. That egg is sooo sweet! I should check out your tutorial again so I can try wet felting.

Thanks for sharing,

Heather

Judi & Kathleen,
Thanks so very much...Wendy & I had this thing going back & forth...trying to find a good way to make eggs...and when I came up with the wet/needle felted egg...it just grew from there...and I just had to create something special for my first egg...and thus...Gnarrrrrllll...the baby needle felted dragon happened. I do plan to make more...ummm one of these days...

I also enjoyed making my eggs.  In the end I found that only two layers of thick paper was all that was needed.
It had a calming affect on me as well , while doing the glueing.  And ..water bomb balloons I found have the best egg shape.
The best part of it was workshopping online here with Charlotte and our very responsive audience. It was really great fun. bear_thumb
