Recent Craft Challenges

[melted-rachel.livejournal.com]

Last October I ditched my newsletter and decided to start a yahoo group where I set weekly craft challenges. Anyway here are a few of the things I’ve made for the challenges:



Worry Doll Box (Guatemalan Worry Doll project):





I adore worry dolls but figured I needed a box to contain all my worries.



Skirt (Resolutions project):





This was inspired by the gorgeous skirts and dresses by Gibbous.



Cocoon (Museum object project):





I tried to wet felt this but it went a bit odd so I needle felted it quite a bit afterwards. I love that you can make hollow shapes with felt.





The Lion and the Lady (Leo and Virgo project):





The base of the lion’s body is mainly made out of an old sweater. The lady was needlefelted and I stabbed myself 3 times.



Maypole Dress (Weaving project):





This was so quick to do – I just used the mannequin as a loom.
