Just for ewe Stiff19, Whisperit and Spottyewe!

[Susieliz39]

I’ve been inspired by all the crafty folk on here and as I’m at home on long term sick, I thought I’d give it a go!! This is my first attempt at felting and although it took me hours and kept me out of mischief, I’m pleased with myself!! 😜 Hubby was less complimentary but it created a few laughs!!

Take care all

Sue x

looks great, trendy colours.

[Susieliz39 in reply to suzannah16]

Thanks suzannah16! I love the colours too!

[Horsewhisper]

Well done you for giving it a go! What a lovely creation! Xx

[Susieliz39 in reply to Horsewhisper]

Thanks Horsewhisper! I enjoyed doing it, especially with glass of wine in hand watching hubby making tea!! 😂

[stiff19]

Excellent 👍 love the colours too, well done and be pleased with yourself you should 👍 did you enjoy making it? Besides keeping you out of mischief 🤣 I hope it helped you in a therapeutic take your mind off things way 🙏 I’m not an overly colourful person but it’s inspired me to try a colourful felt 🙏Thankyou for posting 🙏xx

[Susieliz39 in reply to stiff19]

I did enjoy making it! I like creative activities but don’t normally have much time to devote to it. Surprising how much you become engrossed in sculpting matching legs!! I did struggle with those to be honest!! 🤪😂 hopefully my next attempt maybe a little mor ‘balanced’! 😂

[stiff19 in reply to Susieliz39]

🤣 yes it’s very time consuming especially if felting firm. The toughest part is to get things matching. Did your kit contain wire? It’s much easier to felt on an armature, a lot of kits come with polystyrene to say W on wool and is awful, made it even harder for my daughter to try or with just wool but it’s best to have a firm base of wool to start I think which is why armature is great. I love it and look forward to seeing your next one 👍

[Susieliz39 in reply to stiff19]

Hi Stiff. No, the pack didn’t contain any wire, just a foam base. Perhaps I need to look into a different type of kit. 🤔That’s probably why the oval body resembled more of a Cumberland sausage for the first few attempts!! 🤪

[stiff19 in reply to Susieliz39]

Don’t knock it, it’s your first go and very good for that 👍 I love it. You would be better to just get some wire and wool , be cheaper than a kit 🤷‍♀️ Keep up the good work 👍

Looking fab Susieliz you'll soon have a flock.love the purple hairdo between her ears 😍 xd

[Susieliz39 in reply to Spanielmadlady]

Thanks Spanielmadlady. A few friends have asked for a cow and a pig! I could have a farmyard! 😂

[honeybug]

Great first attempt. This cute little ewe’s colors remind me of Dolly Parton’s Song 🎵 my coat of many colors my momma made for me 🎼

Keep up the good work sweetie.

EJ 😊🤗💗😘🙏🕊🌿🌸🦋

[Susieliz39 in reply to honeybug]

Thanks honeybug. I don’t think I know that song but will have a google tomorrow. 👍Bright colours always cheer the ❤️. X

[honeybug in reply to Susieliz39]

Dolly had many siblings ?11. They were extremely poor. Their mom was very gifted at providing their needs which Dolly has made many songs about. One year Dolly received a hand sewn coat made up of many colorful patches from cloth remnants from previously used textiles. Dolly was so proud to receive that colorful coat stitched together loving by her mom.

She wore it to school and as other children often do they ridiculed her for that ridiculous coat.

Dolly wrote her famous song about that coat of many colors.

Dolly is very humbled by her poor beginnings...never vengeful or bitter. I just love her so much.

Whitney Houston is famous for singing one of Dolly’s big hits...I will always love you.

Hope you enjoy this bit of history from across the pond.

Take care be safe.

EvaJo aka EJ 😊🤗💗😘🙏🕊🌿🌸🦋

[Susieliz39 in reply to honeybug]

Thank you EJ for that. I’m not at all familiar with Dolly’s songs, only Jolene. I did used to like Whitney though and hadn’t realised that was a Dolly Parton track. I bet that coat was fabulous! I love colour, I have an image of Joseph’s multicoloured cloak in my mind! Thanks for sharing EJ, stay safe too and take care xx

[honeybug in reply to Susieliz39]

You’re welcome sweetie. I too love color. I’m a multi medium artist. I so appreciate the beautiful palette we’ve been blessed with in Life.

I’m so glad to share this love 💕 of colors with you.

Abundant blessings sweetie.

EJ ♥️🙏

PS Thank you for reminding me about Joseph’s many colored cloak. My fibro fog made me forget that. So important to remember him too. ♥️🙏

[Fisher50]

[Susieliz39 in reply to Fisher50]

And so you should be! It looks very intricate and tricky to handle but you did it! It’s a good feeling isn’t it... a sense of achievement! Look forward to seeing your new accomplishments 😊😘

[CecilyParsley in reply to Fisher50]

Wow that is amazing. What an achievement xx

[Mollymaid]

Lovely! There is an alpaca farm near me that sell crafty gifts, amongst them multi coloured felted alpacas- just like yours... they sell for £25.95... I can see you with a little cottage industry here!Xxx

[Susieliz39 in reply to Mollymaid]

😂😂😂 do you reckon?!! Think it may take a while!! A couple of friends have requested a pig and a cow 🤷‍♀️so who knows, I may be able to do a farmyard!! 😂Take care xx

[Mollymaid in reply to Susieliz39]

Absolutely... they sell plenty at the alpaca farm - when we’ve unlocked I’ll take photos and share you’ll see then what they sell for.We can all do anything we want .. just takes that first step of courage then off we go.

Go for it .. that’s how it starts with friends asking for things.

Keep going ... look forward to more posts of your works xxx

[Susieliz39 in reply to Mollymaid]

I agree, absolutely, positive mindset is everything! I just don’t know if I would be patient enough to make more than a couple! Would love to see the photos, let’s hope it’s not too long before you can go and take them 🤞

[Mollymaid in reply to Susieliz39]

Ha ha there is no race so you will find the mindset for patience.Hopefully not too long for opening as they are an outside animal attraction and just across the road, I’m friends with the owner so no problem. Maybe I should suggest a donkey - I have two real ones 😂

[Susieliz39 in reply to Mollymaid]

Ooooh that would be a challenge! Perhaps you need to get Stiff19 on the donkey challenge, she’s a felting expert! 😻

[Mollymaid in reply to Susieliz39]

Oh I didn’t know that ... lot of people with talent out there 🤗

[Partner20]
