Felted ATCs


A couple of months ago I asked my friend who does gorgeous felting (not to mention stamping, drawing, painting, carving, and the list can go) to teach me how to felt. I chose to work on atc sized pieces and stuck with floral themes because I can't draw. I finally made those pieces into finished atcs a couple of weeks ago. I added Distress Stickles which is a perfect look for these, embellishments, and "Dream with your eyes wide open" is a stamp from Quietfire Design - I sprayed some muslin with Memory Mist sprays and stamped with Archival ink jet black. I really like how these turned out (they're even better in person) and plan to do more felted atcs.
Be sure and click on the picture for a closer look.

Wonderful Wanda. They look great. Love the way you incorporated the other items.
I remember doing a make and take at our Heritage fall Fair a couple years ago and had fun doing it then. I've got lots of raw wool, so should pull it out again one day...

These are all lovely! My fav I think is the last one with the butterfly. These are warm and fuzzy ATCs! Just perfect for mid winter!

Funny or coincidence, I was just looking at the wool felting supplies in our fabric store. Didn't buy but these are so lovely I might have to reconsider. What did you felt onto as your base.
