Needle Felting

I've been thinking about adding tiny wisps 

of fiber to some of my art work.

I do have a wonderful embellishing machine,

but the thought struck me that

using it would be overkill

for the desired effect,

and I also might just get carried away

and do too much embellishing.

So I purchased this handy little needle felting tool

and tried it out on some chiffon.

To the left of the tool is a bit of wool roving.

Now to the left is a bit of my hand-dyed silk chiffon.

I love how much control I have when I use this little tool.

And I think the wispy effect is great -

just what I wanted to achieve!

Above I've added some wool curls.

I had to thin them down so as not to break the needles in the tool.

But they turned out to be very delicate as well.

The last bit that I felted into the chiffon is a piece of sari silk.

I was afraid it would be too sturdy to work,

but it behaved beautifully.

I think this little gadget is a good tool

for future use.
