"Goldie"
This is a small piece I did as one of my daily exercises. It has several layers of fibers felted onto a piece of felt. Then I decided about halfway through that it was going to be a water scene. I added a piece of organza in the shape of a fish and felted that on but decided it was to bright so I layered some white organza over the whole thing to soften the colors and create more water like texture. Then I started to embellish the piece with machine free motion embroidery (thread sketching) with polyester and metallic threads. I also added some fused white organza on top of the stitching to set the fish back and create another transparent layer. Then I painted the canvas to coordinate with the fiber piece and hand stitched the piece to the canvas with invisible thread.

Machine Needle Felted Bowl
6 1/4" Diameter Miniature bowl
This is a miniature bowl machine needle felted from collaged organzas, taffetas and yarn. I felted the scraps of fabric together in the shape of a circle and then cut out small wedges at equal intervals around the circle and then brought those edges back together and machine satin stitched the seams and sculpted the outer edges and satin stitched them.
