Now after all my complaining and struggling with felting white wool and finally making a snowball, I thought you should see what I created with it.
Meet my snowman.
He's kinda warm and snuggly for someone who's supposed to be made from snow... but it's probably because he's got a big heart.
And a warm scarf.
I made him by using a combination of wet felting and needle felting. That's why he's much larger than a normal needle felted piece (at just over 9 inches tall). I also wove the scarf from scrap yarn and felted that too.
When I first started the snowballs this was the project I had in mind. As I struggled with the white wool I thought "if this actually works it will be the only snowman I make because this is too hard to felt" but now that he's all done I kinda want to make him some friends.
awww! The snowman is SO cute! Great job!

Cookie- I do have the sometimes bad habit of saying (or blogging) exactly what I'm thinking.
Shirley- That's probably the sweetest thing you could have said about this snowman. Thank you!
Kookie- I wish I had though of that one. I would have used it for the title of the post!!
Craftymoose- LOL. I agree, just remind me that's it's worth it when I'm complaining about the felt while making another one.
What a cute snowman! Beautiful work!
