Finaly finished!!

Lace Wrap (pattern by Marly Bird)

So 3 skeins of chroma, and roughly 6 months of working on it through the pain, and its finished.

Its been storming off and on for the past few days so I did a photo inside, the colors are a bit washed out but there was nothing I could do about that.  Its way more vibrate, but I am happy with it and glad I have finished it.

Now I will just have to focus on working on my Falkor.  I have done so much brushing of yarn that I feel like I have breathed in yarn fluff any time I get my kit out that I have been keeping the project in.

I am currently up to felting fur onto his rear legs, and along the sequin section on his back I will update on it when I have made more progress.

 

Stabby stab stab...

 Day one of felting....
That was about 3/4 hours of brushing ironing and stabbing.  I got in a nice felting kit, and a new slicker brush that are making this go faster.  The leather finger/thumb covers have saved me from repeated stabbings (stab count 1 so far).

 Day... um I forget 3 maybe?  Tons more brushing and stabing and brushing, and more stabbing.

As seen from above, I am felting from the tail tip up towards the face.  My felting needle has spear'd a few of the sequins causing them to burst in half and fly at my face. 

I am almost out of brushed yarn to felt so I am stopping here.  I will need to measure out more yarn loop it on one of my sticks to brush it out and flat iron it smooth.

Yes I am using disposable chopsticks to secure the yarn to for brushing and flat ironing so far it holds up well and keeps my fingers away from the really hot flat iron (burns so far 0).

Sorry for the messy work space pic's, my desk tops black laqaurd top pealed off and I havednt finished making it look arty with scribbles, or sealed it against water/liquid.  BUT thats a project for an other day.
