    About

    I'd seen a photograph of a sleeping fawn on some Christmas cards, and thought that it would make a great subject for some more needle-felting.

      As a fellow felter, I'm always impressed with others' projects. Simply lovely! I been felting snowmen, complete with tiny knit scarves & caps.

        Thank you Vala. I did think twice about putting these pics up as it's not knitting/crochet, but it is fibre/yarn related, so what-the-heck, just do it :)
        I feel that crafters of all disciplines produce some stunning pieces, but often don't show them. Which is such a shame, as I believe that most crafters do genuinely love to see the achievements of others. And I'd love to see your snowmen with their tiny knitted garments; if possible could you put some pics onto your projects please?

      I loved your standing fawn and I feel just the same about these two. You've got the different poses absolutely spot on. You are very talented, well done again.
