{beautiful sunday} felt beads

There is something wonderful about using a raw material like dyed wool to create something beautiful like a felt bead. I was first inspired to make these for my art by Martha Stewart Kids magazine a while ago. Then earlier this week, Tania made the brightest, most vibrant stash of beads and I became completely eager to try myself.. I spent Friday night attempting to figure things out, all the while making a mess. This is what I created! I see Anna made some too! Mine aren't as "tight" as everyone else's so I think I need to practice some more but it sure is fun!

I used one of the beads in a current mixed media project (pictured below). Larger photo here.
