and my newest crafting obsession. Whaddya think?
Sorry, I know the picture isn't the best. The $1 is there to convey size. Some of these are already on pin backs, the others soon will have them. They are VERY lightweight!
Oh, the bird in the upper left is actually more of a sculpture and won't be made into a pin since it's 3D. It's an experiment. I was trying for a quail-like bird, but I think it needs a duck bill instead...
I have at least this many felted brids that are larger, more of an ornament size. They are 3D as well.
All are needle-felted and are completely wool fiber except for the eyes. Those are glass beads sewn onto them.
Haven't figured out what to do about feet yet. I could make some with some cool twisty bugle beads and wire. Or just leave them without feet.
The small pin on the upper right will never have feet, as it's my first pin and has been worn many times now (and I love it!).
