"Woven Tapestry and Needle Felted Doll"
I just taught another "Woven Tapestry and Needle Felted Doll"
class. This was a two day class. On Day One, my students learned
how to weave the body of their doll on a potholder loom. On Day Two,
they needle felted their doll's head, crocheted its arms, added the legs,
applied the hair, put it all together and brought it to life. My students
are, from left to right, Sandy Levine, Elaine Eggink, Barbara Sines and
Jodi Glover.
Here they are beginning to
weave their
doll's body on
a potholder
loom.
They finished
the doll's body
before they
removed it
from the loom.
My students
are beginning
to needle felt
their doll's
head.
The needle
felted faces
come to life.
