Finally took some of the hundreds of needle felted "beads" I make when I'm to tired to sculpt and animal and added them to the sculpted wool amulets and mixed them with some semi-precious stones, glass and pearls to make these necklaces . Obviously, not for the faint of heart , no dainty chains and butterflies here just bold colors, textures and shapes . Large but amazingly light weight...one of the advantages of wool .
I wasn't exactly sure how I would bead these but s large sewing needle and regular Beadalon worked fine . The only draw back is that I had to constantly take the needle off, thread the beading wire through the bead then rethread and sew through the wool bead...repeat x 100 . I like the contrast though so it was worth the effort for me .

| Wet felt fabric to sew into....? probably bags but I might make a few cuffs and pins as well . |
Up-date on Balhoo and Max....best buddies in less then a week . I think Balhoo was starved for another boy to chase and wrestle with and Max has much the same desire...win/win .
Both recovering from a bout of "chase and wrestle "
Balhoo says that Max tastes delicious !
Hope your all enjoying felting along with preparing for winter Holidays .
