This is a mammoth (I think). He just popped out of the white wool roving I was punching with a patterned organza. The only thing I had to do, was to cut him out and emphasize his eye a little more with some black wool fibers. I wonder if he would like to move on to a woolen cave painting ...
Then I saw a tiny green house taking form while I was trying out a thin green-printed silk scarf on the roving. I took a closer look and suddenly discovered a little elf standing in the open door.
She asked me to fix the roof - somewhere on my working table, she had seen a small green, glittery scrap which she thought would be just fine. Of course I fixed it for her. And as I wanted her to stay, I even added some white and green beads to make it look nicer.

What a lovely woolly Woolly Mammoth. He deserves his own fairy tale!
you are making want to ditch my what of experiments and start maiking wonderful things. At the moment i am playing to see what fabric can be embellished on what backgrounds very useful, but looks a bit ugly. i was disappointed that the acyrlic felt in your next post doesnt work that well as it is cheap and easily accessible - i did like the dwarfs and aliends though. the finish looked more defined rather than fuzzy - which i guess would be good in some applications.
Thanks, girls!
To Paula: As to the acrylic felt, you can try putting a tiny amount of wool roving between the acrylic felt layers (I didn't do it for these whatiffings, but I know it works out) for a better "melting in" effect - or use wool felt as a base for the acrylic motifs.
according to me is what you find in your textile so special, its a gift.
you pickt it out,,,so beautiful!
