This is a poncho I made using natural brown and black fiber and osnaburg fabric (kinda' like muslin, but a little bit heavier). The alpaca shapes were cut from prefelts I made from the same fiber I used in
the poncho. It's come in handy in some drafty venues I've been in since I finished it. The best part is the fiber itself doesn't appear to shed. Wearing black pants tends to tattle about any shedding that might happen - so far nothing.
I'm also doing snowmen for the season:
I'm going to track down different styles of camouflage for snow-people in different "sitautions" and there might even be a snow-smurf at some point.
This is a wall hanging I made for my niece and her fiance' for their wedding. The "P" is in Microsoft's Parchment font and I needle felted it onto a white prefelt background. The is another laminate like the poncho - one side had the black border with white and hints of turquoise in the middle, then the osnaburg and finally the design itself.
This is the "P" in more detail and after it's been felted a bit.
Ultimately I think I fulled it a bit too much and because the letter had that little bit more fiber it definitely fulled more than the surrounding area. It may not be a wall hanging anymore, but hopefully it's a good lap rug for the newlyweds.
And here are the fish - (the instructions are from Lori Flood, an amazing felter and teacher):
