Only two weeks late...not too bad...LOL
This little piece (11x15 including borders) was done needle felting by hand, not machine.
I didn't draw any pattern or sketch, just went for it putting down whatever felt good.
After the felting, I backed the piece with stabilizer and thread painted/quilted it.
These are both techniques I have barely tried in the past so wanted to play with them. I know I definitely need alot of practice to get it right, especially the thread painting...but I had alot of fun doing it. I mounted it on a piece of mauve sueded pigskin.
As always, I welcome critiques and comments

I like this. I bought a hand felting needle and broke them all on my first try. This makes me want to buy replacement needles and try again.

Hi Cherie - the piece came out really well. I especially like the thread-painting and the clouds going in front of the moon. It is great that you tried something new and had so much success with it. Nice work!

Hi Cherie,
I really like the contrast of the neutral sky background, the muted mid-ground and the brightly colored foreground. It's so textural...I want to pet it!

Thanks to all of you...I really did have so much fun with this, I fully intend to do much more and actually try to become proficient at it! It's very easy to just lose yourself in the moment doing this.
