That being said, another friend requested assistance with a project involving finger puppets. So, felt, scissors, and needle in hand I went to work on creating prototypes and experimenting with what I can could come up with to answer her request. The result being two finger puppets which seem just a bit muddied (or fuzzy) to me. Apparently the needle felting pulls the color through to the back side, which can create a problem when two colors are used. So, prototype one is done, but the work goes on. Clearly I've not yet mastered this particular art form!
After completing the two puppets I felt like I had just helped a friend move to a new apartment. Silly how exhausting close work can be. To relax I began making flowers for my Ophelia scarf (five pansies and a briar rose, so far). Crochet feels like going home, and I was happy to be able to tuck into my corner of the couch and do something I felt comfortable with.
