My first chicken pin cushions... 2 styles

[Guitartists]

You use shrinky dink plastic (I think I got my kit at JoAnns) on the heads of regular sewing pins.

That felted one is a silkie-lover's heart's delight!!

I never knew chickies were into acupunture!

Guitartists, I had to go back and find this thread. Have you made any more felted chickens? I know your life has been busy, but if you've made more I'd love to see them!

I am totally in love with felting, despite the number of times I've stabbed myself. I know creation is a painful process sometimes, but for a while it was getting ridiculous!
I haven't been making pin cushions, I've been making pins and decorations. I have a flock of felted chickens now, and some flowers as well. I'm getting some books on felting from the library this afternoon. Figured it was time to branch out a a little now that I'm getting better at not stabbing myself

None yet

Have been too busy with the move still to even think straight! But I'd love to see your projects!!!

Moving is a real pain, more so if it's into a fixer-upper. You have my sympathies!!!

Here's a link to some of my birds
