Then I first made this, I put it away because I didn't like it . Later I  found that I really liked the idea. A neck warmer like this is as cozy as it can be decorative,  with beautiful colors and texture, nice to wear in or outside. It could accentuate a plain outfit...

I have been struggling to master felting with raw fleece. The results varies and different fleeces seem to felt differently. I still struggle, but keep dreaming of creating some larger pieces. I am now heading out to California to take a class, with focus on raw fleece, with amazing artist Vilte Kazlauskaite. I am also going to attend the eco dye class with another amazing artist, Irit Dulman. If you are not already familiar with these artists, check them out and find inspiration!

 These  were made for Romantique Boutique upon request. They can be used as decoration on clothing, purses, or try them fastened to a hair tie or hair pin. It looks really cute! It may be a nice idea for a bride.
