Leftovers...,

As primarily a softie maker, I quite often have leftover bits, pieces, and softie limbs. Some I just throw out, while others give the impression that they could actually have a second lease of life as something else.

This was a trial run, so didn't get used for the final piece. It's been sat on my desk all week,

...while I ponder what I could do with it. It's fringed felted wool, with a piece of wire running down the centre (which can come out if need be).

Any ideas?

  12. No, sorry I have no ideas. It could be because we are suffering 40C heat wave at the moment. But I feel confident you will make something inspiring with it as usual. and excited as well. Will be back to check.

  13. I was thinking a branch for a feather tree. With all the little things you make, a feather tree would be a fun think to put them on.

  16. I thought it would make a very good hairy catapillar if you rouched the fringe up a little and bent the wire into a lazy s shape.
