A spoonful of creativity a day
Day 25
When I began this challenge, I did not imagine that I would end up doing so much needle felting, but I am loving it and and want to continue with it while I am having so much fun, and hopefully it is not boring for those of you that check in regularly.
It has also got me thinking about how I could use it in my children's book illustration work. I would love to make some little characters for a story and create backgrounds for them with a combination of illustration, collage and other felted pieces. I don't have strong photography skills, but that is something I could learn/improve upon.
So I am going to start with making a simple little bedroom scene with a mouse. I am excited to see how it will turn out, and of course, I will share the process with you. It may be a disaster, but if I don't try it, I will never know.
Unfortunately, today I didn't have much time to get started. Ah well, tomorrow is another day :)

I am loving your needle felting. Keep it coming. That's a great idea for illustration. Can you say Caldecott? I've got to try needle felting myself.
I love the needle felting, and I especially love the way you present your work. The old photographs are a terrific touch.
I can't wait!!! I knew it!!! These would make the most wonderful children's story book or stop animation!!! How absolutely wonderful my talented friend. The photography will come together for you soon enough. Hey you do lovely post anyway, so I know you will figure out how to light the subjects without a problem. If you do have any problems there is always YouTube he he he! I know you will do well. I plan to stay tuned! Keep moving forward you talented woman you.
