felted Popeye and Olive


I'm working on Wimpy now. I want to do Swee'pea, Eugene the Jeep, Brutus and Alice the Goon, too. They take a long time, though, so we'll see...

How in the world? Those look fantastic! I can't wait to see more. Do you have characters for sale on Etsy?

Hi Gerald!
Thanks! Needle-felting is simply taking wads of loose, colored wool, and stabbing it with a barbed needle about a gazillion times until it gets compacted into solid felt. (Last night as I was felting, I decided I must have been a woodpecker in a former life!) You can sculpt any shape; I love it. I intended to start up an etsy site, but employment got in the way. These things take forever to do.
