Needle felted head band, chrysalis and suprise Easter eggs

Started out wanting to make something for Easter, just a simple little egg and look who popped up ! He is the offspring of Champ and Nessy but how they got together is a mystery . He was so fun to make , I plan on doing several animals in Easter eggs and may even get them listed on Etsy before the season is over .....or they may just make a late arrival to Shepherd's Harvest .

The head band with the butterfly is going to be a hair band but I need to add the "stretchy bit"

to the ends. It is needle felted onto a bit of wool coat fabric, so it is rather thick but should work great for some "hair interest" .

Also, still working on the butterfly chrysalises...I personally like them but have a feeling they wont appeal to "most folks" . I did buy some new wool fiber that should be arriving soon to add more colors to the butterflies beneath the cocoons .

The "Keep 'Em Guessing" needle felted necklace....

Is it...Smurf Poo ? Rattle snake with an inflamed prostrate ? drift wood with a butter fly crysalis ?

Only you will know .

Well, thought I might avoid the Poo look by adding a bit of color to the "wood" and get more interesting shape by needle felting over a leather thong...which goes to show, not all experiments are successful . This is one of those things you could wear if you don't mind hearing the Minnesota idea of an insult....."My that sure is 'interesting' " .

It was successful in one aspect and that is that it let me know that you CAN needle felt over a leather thong and I will probably be doing that again to make some chokers .

I thought the bracelet turned out nice but the color doesn't show up very well on camera .
