First fiber has arrived from North Star Alpaca and it's yummy .
Wow, what a lovely bunch of alpaca .This is from North Star Alpaca of Etsy. I got a great deal on some "seconds" that will work perfectly for needle felting and some bright and beautiful dyed alpaca that I may use for adding texture to my wet felting or make some colorful fantasy animals . The blue and orange shade look really nice together...to my eyes anyway, I love contrast . She also added some wonderful bumps of different "animal" colors for my critters as well as a card with one of her beautiful alpaca and a great smelling sachet of lavender .
Below are just some more merino bangles and two cat collars which I will do a tutorial on when I get some of my new merino this week . A fun and simple project for new felters .
Happy felting .
I leave you with this inspiring video of my new favorite animal......
Thanks for mentioning my shop. The video is delightful.

ReplyDeleteThanks Maple . I just finished my first critter using your fiber as "fur" and I think it turned out great.....really love the baby alpaca locks .
